1894
16 March: The Governors of the School of Art appoint a committee to report on the accommodation needed in a proposed new building, and to enquire about the price of ground 'in Renfrew Street or elsewhere in a central position'. 1
2 May: Probable cost of new School, including site, is £21,000. An application has been made for financial assistance from the Bellahouston Trustees. 2
1895
25 January: Bellahouston Trustees agree to buy the Renfrew Street site for £6000 and present it to the School, with an additional £4000 for the building fund, on condition that the School raises a further £6000. 3
6 September: The Parks and Galleries Committee of the Town Council agree to make a grant of £5000 to the School 'for a plain building affording accommodation equal to that at present in use [in the Corporation art gallery, Sauchiehall Street]', on condition that the entire £21,000 required is raised. 4
1896
8 January: Subscriptions amounting to 'considerably over £5000' have been promised to the building fund. 5
26 February: Total cost of the project is now estimated at more than the £21,000 already secured. 6
16 March: The Governors resolve to ask Francis H. ('Fra') Newbery to prepare guidelines for the planning of the new building, including 'the required dimensions of class rooms ... together with suggestions as to the size of windows and the application of artificial light &c.', and to indicate 'how much of this accommodation might immediately be constructed'; to appoint a Building Committee consisting of James Fleming, Leonard Gow, Robert H. Leadbetter, David Tullis, Patrick S. Dunn, Seton Thomson and Bailie Bilsland; to invite a maximum of eight Glasgow architects to take part in an architectural competition for the new School, their names to be decided by the Building Committee; to limit the cost of the building to £14,000, and disqualify any competitor who exceeds the budget by more than 10%; and to appoint Sir James King and Sir Renny Watson to assess the plans, 'with power to call in such professional aid to guide them in their decision as they may think necessary'. 7
11 May: A block plan prepared by Newbery has been approved by Thomas Armstrong, Director of Art at South Kensington. 8
1 June: The Governors approve the Building Committee's proposal to increase the number of invited architects from eight to twelve. 9
12 August: The Governors consider a joint letter from the invited architects, dated 24 July, stating that the accommodation required cannot be provided for the sum of £14,000, and requesting that the terms of the competition be changed. The letter is signed by T. L. Watson; John A. Campbell; John James Burnet; H. & J. Barclay; John Honeyman & Keppie; Alex N. Paterson; William J. Anderson; William J. Conner & Henry Mitchell; Alexander McGibbon; James Salmon & Son; Malcolm Stark & Rowntree; and H. E. Clifford. The Governors refuse, emphasising that 'it is but a plain building that is required'. 10
27 August: Following further representations from the architects on 17 and 20 August, the Governors agree to amend the terms of the competition. The architects are asked to indicate what part of their proposals could be erected for £14,000, and what the cost of eventual completion would be. The deadline is extended from 15 September to 1 October 11

Detailed survey of the building carried out by Geoffrey G. Wimpenny of Keppie Henderson, prior to a phased programme of work costing around £200,000. 83
1973
'It has been agreed to carry out over the next few years a comprehensive overhaul and renewal where necessary of the fabric and services of the Mackintosh building. This most extensive and costly programme will include renewal of wiring and plumbing and possibly of the entire heating system.' 84
1976
The building is partly surrounded by scaffolding while pointing of stonework, replacement of rotted woodwork and replacement of roof coverings proceeds. The 'hen run' and conservatory have been rebuilt, 'the curved end section of the Hen Run having been glazed right to the floor as originally'; in the entrance hall, screens and doors added in 1920 have been removed and 'the office and the Janitor's box area is now being reinstated', based on Mackintosh's 1910 drawings, rediscovered in 1975. This programme of work is 'a more intensive continuation of work which has been proceeding over the years, such as the relocation of the School shop in which we used sections of panelling from Miss Buick's Restaurant, the introduction of fire doors in the corridors ... and the construction of balconies in some of the studios.' 85 A former architecture studio on the ground floor has been divided up to form offices, and repairs to the roof are in progress. 86

In the process it is hoped to get rid of the unsightly switchgear which disfigures some of the main corridors, an unfortunate legacy of the last rewiring some 25 years ago ... This phase will be followed by a complete overhaul of the central heating system. For reasons of fire prevention it is unlikely that the original system of heating by hot air will be restored.' 88

£70,000 is to be spent on repairing and renewing electrical and gas mains, the work to be carried out by Keppie Henderson; light fittings, made to Mackintosh's designs, have been installed in the Director's room; and the former store room above the library has been converted to house a new display of Mackintosh's furniture. 89

'Repair and restoration programme underway.' 91 Unspecified 'restoration of the stonework' reportedly carried out. 92

May: 'Part one of a two-stage programme of renovating the entire heating and wiring of the Mackintosh building begins this summer. The oil-powered boilers in the basement and the old bulky radiators will be removed and replaced by a less obtrusive gas calorifier system designed by Keppie Henderson. The warm air heating system designed by CRM will be reinstated in the Mackintosh Room. In the Museum, not only is heating to be installed, but the roof will be double-glazed and extra track-lighting fitted to complete restoration and up-grading of this space. All the electrical wiring will be replaced throughout the building.' 93

2000
Spring: Mackintosh Research Centre opens in basement. 98
2006
November: Glasgow School of Art awarded £4,466,000 by Heritage Lottery Fund towards its Mackintosh Conservation and Access Project.
