HFD Group, the developer
of 177 Bothwell Street in Glasgow, has become the first industry
partner of Circular Arts
Network - a pioneering initiative that supports artists and
community groups through access to surplus or waste construction
materials.
HFD has donated materials including plasterboard, timber,
insulation, and surplus metal which have been collected by local
artists from the construction site and saved from landfill. They
are being used to create sculptures, build exhibitions, props and
theatre sets as well contributing to a range of community
projects.
Kate V Robertson, founder of CAN, said: "It's great to have the
support of such an influential property company and the
construction team have so far been hugely accommodating to artists
looking to collect these materials."

HFD's flagship project, 177 Bothwell Street, is set to complete
later this year and will become Glasgow's largest single office
building with Virgin Money and HFD Group's serviced office business
occupying a large proportion of the space.
