The Lock Room, named after Glasgow's Lock Hospital which closed with the advent of the NHS, was originally the drawing room of one of the College buildings on St. Vincent Street. Wall mounted shelves house a selection of the College’s historic books and a row floor to ceiling windows look out over St. Vincent Street. The Lock room is a perfect setting for meetings, presentations and private dining.
