This research presents the history of St Andrew’s House and the Scottish Ambulance Service Headquarters that opened in 1970, design by architecture practice Skinner, Bailey & Lubetkin. The building is considered an exceptional example of the Brutalist architecture movement that developed in Britain in the post-war period, and the building is currently designated with a Category A listing by Historic Scotland.

This research was commissioned by St Andrew's First Aid as part of Glasgow Doors Open 2018. A public lecture was also delivered, that gave particular focus to the main interior staircase specifically mentioned under the Category A listing, as being purportedly designed by Bernard Lubetkin.
