This month our fantastic University of Glasgow Grounds team are taking part in #NoMowMay to let our green spaces and wild flowers grow.

This will help the busy bees and insects thrive, promoting biodiversity across our beautiful campuses. #TeamUofG 💚🌻🌍

Exams can be very stressful, so it’s good to locate the venue in advance - as we all know how difficult it can be to find a room in a unfamiliar building. If you are struggling to find a venue - call on colleagues Glasgow University SRC UofG Security UofG Estates - we are here to help 💙

And we're off - 3 out of 4 of our University of Glasgow Peregrine Falcon eggs hatched this weekend! 🐣

We have 3 healthy chicks with one more to go - any time now!

Thanks to the team monitoring these wonderful birds: Clarke Elsby, RSPB Scotland and The SOC 💙🪺 #TeamUofG

TGIF! UofG pups in the park 🐾💙☀️

Harris the golden hopes this visit to work happens every day if it means a commute though Kelvingrove Park!

Such a nice idea. We even have the weather for it today.

Anyone can pop into the library and get one even if you're not a student! It's open 8am-8pm every day. You just need to give a £20 deposit which you'll get back when you hand it in! Very cute.

We’ve taken over the University of Glasgow Instagram account today - come say hi! 👋

We’re sharing all about our new picnic blanket hire scheme, available now from University of Glasgow Library. Just exchange either your staff/student card or £20 as a deposit, and enjoy the sun. ☀️🌸😎

A big thank you to our Electrical Contract partners CBRE UofG Estates for their great work in carefully replacing the old orange glow gas light bulbs & fittings, providing us with a nice clean, more welcoming light under the Main building Tower.

All set up and ready for our workwear roadshow. Looking forward to receiving some of the feedback from the team. UofG Estates Ferguson Room Gilbert Scott

For all you Peregrine Falcon fans, here's a day in the life of a Falcon dad!

Fly into town, hunt pigeons in George Square, take one up onto the Glasgow City Council Chambers, have a wee nibble, then fly back to University of Glasgow to share the rest with the family. 💙

Happy #EarthDay2024 !

If you're thirsty, keep an eye out for the new water fountains across campus that don't rely on electricity to keep the water cool! Find your nearest water fountain via the UofG Life App. 🌎 🥤

We love the art, old and new, on our University of Glasgow campuses. 🎨

These glass graphics in UofGARC, designed by Tim De Alwis, reimagine the four elements of our shield: the tree, the bird, the fish and the bell. 🌳🐦‍⬛🐟🔔 #FridayFeature

Today is #NationalUnicornDay , and we're always happy to celebrate Scotland's national animal!

We have 2 famous unicorns at University of Glasgow - one sits atop the Memorial Gates (1952), and the other upon the 334 year old Lion & Unicorn staircase, moved from our Old College campus. 🦁🦄

Have you ever noticed this frieze on the UofG Engineering Building, James Watt South?

Titled ‘The Progress of Science’, the sculpture by Eric Kennington and Eric Stanford (1959) features a Latin inscription: 'By sea and by land, through knowledge and skill, learn and teach'. 💙
