Maggie's Centre - Gartnavel

The aim of a Maggie's Centre is to provide an environment of practical and emotional support for people with cancer, their families and friends. Since the opening of the first Maggie's Centre in Edinburgh in 1996, the Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres foundation has grown substantially, commissioning and developing a series of innovative buildings designed by world class architects. While contemporary architecture has a reputation, deservedly or not, for being at times cold or alienating, the goal of each Maggie's Centre - whether in Glasgow, London, or Hong Kong - is to provide a space where people feel at home and cared for, a space that is warm, receptive, and welcoming.
