A New Chapter for the Clarice Pears Building

The Clarice Pears Building has been home to the School of Health and Wellbeing since its official opening in September 2023. 

This state-of-the-art space was funded by gifts from our donor community including generous support from the Pears Foundation. The building is named after Clarice Pears, the mother of the founders of the Pears Foundation, Trevor, Mark and David.  

One of the key aims of the University is to improve health and reduce health inequalities in Glasgow and around the world. In this short film, former Head of School Professor Jill Pell and her successor Professor Frances Mair reflect on the role this collaborative space has played in furthering this critical work and strengthening connections with local communities.
