Campuses

Merchiston campus

 

Merchiston campusOld and new. The Faculty of Engineering, Computing & Creative Industries calls this place home, as did John Napier himself - he was born in 1550 in the tower that still stands in the courtyard. 

 

Located in the lively Bruntsfield area, Merchiston Campus is home to art studios, engineering & design workshops, a computer games lab and a news room & film studios for all those creative types. It's also where you'll find the award winning 500-seater Jack Kilby Computing Centre - open 24/7 in our two main teaching trimesters. And that's not all... we're currently improving the last of our campuses for a facelift.

 

By early 2013 we will have a new reception and student gallery facing on to Colinton Road, new sound-proofed state-of-the-art music studios and teaching rooms configured to the needs of the students based here - check out the artist's impressions, or a  PDF of the plans:
