Garnethill is a predominantly residential area of the city of Glasgow, Scotland.
Located in the city centre, the area borders Cowcaddens to its north, Sauchiehall Street to its south, Cambridge Street to its east and the M8 motorway to its west.
The Glasgow School of Art, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Glasgow Film Theatre and a campus of Glasgow Kelvin College are located in Garnethill. It is also the location of Scotland's oldest synagogue (founded in 1879) and the Glasgow Dental Hospital and School.
Garnethill is also home to St. Aloysius' RC Church. The church was constructed in 1910.
Garnetbank Primary School is situated on Renfrew Street opposite Renfrew Street Nursery School.
There is a private school, St Aloysius' College, whose Clavius building and Junior School both recently won architectural awards. St Aloysius' College also have plans to build a 4-storey sports complex on Dalhousie Street between Hill Street and Renfrew Street.
Garnethill is a conservation area and contains several listed buildings, including Breadalbane Terrace built between 1845 - 1855 by Charles Wilson.
Building works on the Almandine Apartments at the top of Hill Street commenced in 2007 however not all of the five buildings have yet been erected and further construction work will be required to complete the remainder, along with the associated viewpoint.
There is a planning application for a 85-unit student accommodation block at 134 Renfrew Street currently being considered by the Planning Department of Glasgow City Council. In addition there is a proposal to demolish 294-330 Sauchiehall Street and erect new buildings including student accommodation for an undisclosed number of units (ref 14/02940/DC). Taken in context with the planning application being considered for a substantial 320-unit high-rise student accommodation building at nearby 240 Bath Street, together with the proposed 4-storey Sports Complex on the Renfrew Street-Dalhousie Street-Hill Street site, and also the renovation of the fire-damaged Mackintosh Building on Renfrew Street, there is likely to be ongoing construction works in the area for the next decade.
