The Fairfield Heritage Centre is situated on Govan Road, Glasgow, Scotland. Built as the offices of the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company between 1889 and 1891 the building was used as the principal offices for successive owners of the adjacent shipyard until 2001, when it was vacated by BAE Systems Marine.
