The Glasite Meeting House

Now the headquarters of some of Scotland's leading heritage organisations, the Glasite Meeting House in Edinburgh was originally the home of the Glasite or Sandemanian religious sect founded by John Glas around 1730 in Dundee, the origin of the Churches of Christ in America. Designed by Alexander Black in 1836 the meeting house reflects the nature of Glasite worship, with an upstairs Feast Room for the Sunday love feast, and a main meeting hall with prominent central pulpit for preaching-centred meetings.

We were appointed to define 'conservation barriers' and carry out access audits of the publicly accessible spaces, and advise on possible alterations and improvements which would respect the unspoiled historic character of the building and make it more compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
