Consequently in 1870， it moved to a greenfield site on the Gilmorehill in the West End of the city （around three miles west of its prior location）， enclosed by a large loop of the River Kelvin. Its accommodations there were a number of custommade buildings， designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic revival style. The largest of these （now called the Gilbert Scott Building） echoed （in a far grander scale） the High Street campus， twin quadrangle layoutlayout n.规划， 设计， （书刊等）编排， 版面， 配线， 企划， 设计图案， （工厂等的）布局图版面设计. Between the two quadrangles Scott built an open cloister， above which are his grand Bute Hall （used for examinations and graduation ceremonies）， and the buildings， signature Gothic bell tower. The sandstone cladding and Gothic design of the buildings， exterior belie the modernity of its Victorian construction-Scott，s building is hung on a （then cuttingedge） riveted iron frame， with a lightweight woodenbeam roof.
Even these enlarged premises could not contain the ever growing university， which quickly spread across much of Gilmorehill. The 1930s saw the construction of the award-winning round reading room （it is now a gradeA listed building） and an aggressive programme of house purchases， in which the university （fearing the surrounding district of Hillhead was running out of suitable building land） acquired several terraces of Victorian houses and joined them together internally.

More buildings were built beside the main buildings， filling the land between University Avenue and the river with natural science buildings and the faculty of medicine. The medical school spread into neighbouring Partick and joined with the Western General Infirmary. The growth and prosperity of the city， which had forced the university，s relocation to Hillhead， again proved problematic when more real estate was required. The school of veterinary medicineveterinary medicine 兽医， which was founded in 1862， moved to a new campus in the leafy suburb of Garscube in 1954. The university later moved its sports ground and associated facilities to Anniesland （around two miles west of the main campus） and built student halls of residence in both Anniesland and Maryhill.
The growth of tertiary education from the 1960s led the university to build numerous modern buildings across the hill， including several brutalistbrutalist n.野兽派（信奉美术、建筑或文学上野兽主义的人） concrete blocks： the Maclaurin building （housing the department of mathematics， named after university graduate Colin Maclaurin）； the Boyd Orr building （a squat grey concrete tower housing lecture rooms and laboratories）； and the Adam Smith building （housing the social science faculty， named after university graduate Adam Smith）. Other additions around this time， including the glasslined library tower and the amberrick geology building were more in keeping with the Gilmorehill，s leafy suburban architecture. Interestingly， the erection of these buildings around 1968 also involved the demolitiondemolition n.破坏， 毁坏， 毁坏之遗迹 of a large number of houses in Ashton Road， and rerouting the west end of University Avenue to its current position.
The university is currently over a number of different campuses. The main one is the Gilmorehill campus， in Hillhead. As well as this there is the Vet School at the top of Maryhill Road， on the Garscube Estate. The University also operates a Dental School in the city centre； as well as the aforementionedaforementioned adj.上述的， 前述的 Crichton campus in Dumfries； and in 2003 they opened their new Education Faculty Building （the St Andrews Building， replacing Bearsden，s St Andrews Campus） in the Woodlands area of the city on the site of the former Queens College， which had in turn been bought by Glasgow Caledonian University， from whom the university acquired the site.
