Govanhill Baths is a Category B listed Edwardian public bathhouse at 99 Calder Street, Govanhill, Glasgow, Scotland, designed by the architect A.B. McDonald and opened between 1912 and 1917.[1] External refurbishment was completed in 2023. The building itself is currently closed for refurbishment works until 2024.[2] Govanhill Baths Community Trust operates from an office at 126 Calder Street, across the road from the baths building. The campaign to save the baths from closure began in 2001, with an occupation of the building from 17 March until 7 August of that year. This is the longest occupation of a public building in British history.
