Designating Linn Products Factory, Waterfoot

Overview

We propose to designate Linn Products Factory in Waterfoot, Eaglesham as a listed building.

Built 1985–87, it is a purpose-built factory in the 'High Tech' style for Linn Products -  a manufacturer of hi-fi audio equipment. The Richard Rogers Partnership prepared the designs and Ove Arup and Partners were the structural engineers. The building occupies a landscaped site within wooded and parkland grounds, five miles south of central Glasgow.

We think it has special interest as a sophisticated example of late 20th-century ‘High Tech’ industrial building design. With technologically advanced building materials and an innovative organisation of internal space, it is an important example of the work of the Richard Rogers Partnership - one of the most significant British architectural practices of recent decades. 

We are now gathering views on our proposal to list the building at category B.
