It is being built following a nearly £1billion investment by the government, which aims to tackle prison overcrowding due to the growing inmate population in Scotland.
Previously, Michael Stoney, Barlinnie governor, explained that the building will be more than a jail.
It will also be designed to integrate into the local surroundings and provide spaces for members of the East End community.
He said: “There will be a huge focus on social value.
“We want to become intrinsically integrated with our local community, support local needs through poverty, deprivation, age and youth work and provide them with resources they lack.
“We are hoping it won’t just be seen as a prison but a place that you could walk into on any normal day, like a Costa Coffee.
“We have all sorts of ideas on how to utilise it. Could councillors and MSPs use it for surgeries? Could community groups use it as a meeting space?”
