The Graham Hills Building is a major building on Strathclyde University's John Anderson Campus, located in Glasgow, Scotland. The structure, originally known as Marland House, was completed in 1959 by the General Post Office (GPO) and was acquired by the university from the GPO's successor – British Telecom (BT) in 1987.
The building is best known for the "Strathclyde Wonderwall", the largest wall mural in the city and was briefly the largest in the UK following its completion in 2014.
In 1991 it was renamed for the outgoing principal Sir Graham Hills who retired that year.
