The architects of the development flew in from New York to take part in a topping out ceremony.
The team, from US firm Steven Holl Architects, joined Glasgow colleagues from the city's JM Architects and Professor Seona Reid, director of the art school.
Speaking at the event, Professor Reid said: "Over the last year the site has been a hive of activity as this wonderful building has risen from the ground and revealed its elegance and originality.
"Today's topping out ceremony is a landmark occasion for all the many people who have been involved in this exciting development.
"We are delighted to have Steven Holl and Chris McVoy with us today along with the team from JM Architects and representatives from Sir Robert McAlpine and Arup Engineering."
Built by Arup Engineering, the building is one of the most significant currently under construction in the UK.
The academic building will house design studios and offices, technical workshops and digital media labs, lecture facilities, communal staff and student areas, exhibition spaces and a new Mackintosh centre.
The site, opposite the Mackintosh Building, also includes a radical refurbishment of the GSA Students' Union, known as "the Vic".
Yesterday's ceremony saw a leafy branch nailed to the very top of the building, representing future growth.
Professor Reid added: "We are looking forward eagerly to the time when we can occupy the building and watch it providing an inspiring new environment for the creative endeavours of our staff and students."

Mr. Murphy will oversee BlueMetal's daily business operations including Delivery, Finance and Human Resources.
Mr. Murphy joins BlueMetal from Microsoft, where he spent nineteen years in roles ranging from leading large professional services practices to managing global relationships with Microsoft's most strategic clients. Prior to joining Microsoft, Mr. Murphy spent several years managing professional services practices at companies including Oracle and Verity.

We empower our people to bring their ideas to market in an accelerated manner, taking advantage of all the skills we've employed in bringing BlueMetal to market."
Since its 2010 launch, the company has created 70 new jobs, expanded to three locations, spun off a software company, CollabFactory, and delivered successful projects to numerous companies including several on the Fortune 500 list.

Nike on Monday named ZGF Architects as its architecture firm for the World Headquarters expansion project.
ZGF's selection breaks the hold that TVA Architects and its head, Robert Thompson, has had on the sprawling campus near Beaverton.
ZGF and TVA have had something of a competition for design business with the footwear and apparel company and its co-founder Phil Knight.
ZGF, formerly known as Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects, designed the John E. Jaqua Academic Learning Center at University of Oregon as well as the Athletic Medicine Center in the university's Casanova Center. TVA and Thompson designed the Matthew Knight Arena on the UO campus, the Ford Alumni Center on the campus, the Nike Air Hangar in Hillsboro, Nike Portland (retail), Nike Santa Monica (retail), and the most recent capital project on the Nike campus, the C. Vivian Stringer Child Development Center.
Boora Architects of Portland, on the other hand, designed the Knight Management Center at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business,
Nike also announced that Hoffman Construction would be the primary construction partner for the expansion project and Gerding Edlen would handle project management.
Former Oregonian reporter Jeff Manning profiled Thompson for the newspaper in advance of the Matt Knight Arena's opening in January 2011.
Thompson told Manning that the Nike World Headquarters campus was his proudest achievement, "due to the staggering complexity of literally designing a city from the ground up. We designed everything from the buildings to the furniture, the light fixtures right down to the napkins used in the restaurants."
