It is with sadness that we share with the news that the GSA’s former Chair of the Board of Governors, Simon Paterson, died on 20 July 2022
Simon was a much-loved Chair of the Board of Governors from 1997 to 2003, having joined the Board in 1991. He remained passionate about the School after he stepped down as Chair and will be greatly missed.
Simon had a long history with The Glasgow School of Art. His grandfather on his father’s side was a friend of Mackintosh and his father was a lecturer and later Deputy Director, G W Lennox Paterson. His son, Toby Paterson, also studied at the School.
