Researchers at Work: Tours of the ARC
Come along and see our researchers in action!
We’re hosting small group tours showcasing the world-class research going on in the ARC.
You’ll see behind the scenes and our researchers will explain the ground-breaking work they are doing.
We hope to excite our next generation of thinkers and there may even be a lab coat in your size! The tours will showcase the world changing research going on in the ARC.
This event is part of Explorathon and the 2025 Glasgow Doors Open Day Festival, which runs from 18 - 21 September.

Overview
The ARC is the largest project in the University’s investment portfolio. It represents a £116.5million investment in research at Glasgow and will be our flagship research facility.
The ARC has been designed to benefit the whole University, enabling teamwork, collaborative research and external engagement.
Our architects, HOK, designed the building to maximise daylight and views for researchers working in both labs and other research/scholarly spaces. The design creates collaboration areas to maximise social and professional interactions amongst colleagues. The proximity of lab space, research/scholarly space, informal meeting space and communal space creates a dynamic, efficient and interactive research environment.

Limited spaces available in the surrounding streets – public transport encouraged.
Some Blue Badge parking available – contact the ARC for further information.
All microphones in the building work in conjunction with an infrared hard of hearing system.
Water bottle refill stations.
For queries on accessibility at the ARC, please contact us on ARCEnquiries@glasgow.ac.uk or call our reception on +44 (0)141 330 4170.
