The development will be named the Imaging Centre of Excellence (ICE) and has received UK Government funding through the Medical Research Council as part of the Glasgow and Clyde Valley city deal.
Planned as a five-storey development, the centre will comprise the first 7 Tesla MRI scanner in the country, which will enable the university scientists to carry out new clinical research.
University of Glasgow expects the development to be completed by the end of next year.
