This building was conceived long before the current round of job losses.  As a recent visitor I have to say it's a fine building, designed (I think) by this year's Stirling prize winner David Chipperfield. The open spaces you can see are meeting places (some with big bean bags strategically placed for those inclined to tantrums - or sleep). The spaces below what's known as " The Street" house studios and the outer areas are offices. Whilst not wishing to dismiss the inadequacies of the BBC's HQ in Birmingham (a regional centre), this Glasgow building is home to a national service and is a big improvement on the cramped conditions which BBC Scotland endured for x number of years.  I would never advocate spending on buildings in preference to jobs, but if it's an issue then it also applies to TV Centre and Broadcasting House.
