Leverndale Hospital is a mental health facility at Crookston, Glasgow, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The Towerview Unit , which has been taken out of use, is Category A listed. [1]
The hospital, which was designed by Malcolm Stark in the Renaissance Revival style, opened as the Govan District Asylum in September 1895. [2] [3] Two single‑storey pavilions were added in 1908. [2] In 1914, the nearby 17th century Hawkhead House mansion was annexed to become part of the hospital facility, which became known as Hawkhead Asylum [4] (not to be confused with Hawkhead Hospital for infectious diseases a short distance to the west within the boundaries of Paisley, which was constructed in the 1930s). [5]
It joined the National Health Service in 1948 as Hawkhead Mental Hospital; [6] Hawkhead House was demolished in the 1950s. [4] The facility's name was changed to Leverndale Hospital in 1964, [7] and new units for psycho‑geriatric patients were added in the mid-1970s. [2] [3]
After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and some of the substantial older buildings, including the Kelburne Unit and Towerview Unit , were taken out of use in the late 20th century [8] and then converted into apartments between 2003 and 2006. [9] Modern medical facilities built on the site to replace the older buildings include a new acute admissions unit completed in summer 2013. [10]
