Edinburgh
The University of Edinburgh has transformed the iconic, category-A listed Old Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh into Edinburgh Futures Institute, a new futures-focused space for learning, research and innovation. The recently completed project is considered one of the largest renovation projects in Europe and is one of the most ambitious and transformative building projects that the University has ever undertaken. The Futures Institute features an impressive range of facilities including state-of-the-art teaching facilities, rooms for co-working with industry, public and third sector partners, incubation areas for businesses, labs for innovation and prototyping, and exhibition and performance spaces. The building was originally designed by David Bryce, one of Scotland’s leading Victorian architects and is a beautiful example of the Scottish Baronial style. The redevelopment allows Bryce’s original design to sing out, whilst elegant new spaces enable its new purpose.
