Gilmorehill G12's building was originally known as the Anderson Free Church, built in 1877. The architect was locally renowned James Sellars, who had made his first impression with his winning design of the Stewart Memorial fountain in Kelvingrove Park, which still exists today.

In the 1950's, the University of Glasgow came into ownership of the building when it was used for exams and, later, a gym hall.

In 1997, the combined funding from Scottish Arts Council Lottery Fund and the Gifted Seats Scheme, the University began the project to develop the building into the Gilmorehill G12 Centre, which was to house the Film, Television and Theatre Department along with a functioning Theatre, Cinema and conference centre.

The department of Film, Television and Theatre is home to thirty members of staff and over four hundred students

Gilmorehill G12 is situated at 9 University Avenue next to the entrance to Kelvin Walkway. The nearest underground is Kelvinbridge and the No.44 bus stops right outside the door.

Parking is available on University Avenue and Kelvin Walkway.
