The Edinburgh Futures Institute building

Our students will be based in the completely renovated, Category-A Listed, Edinburgh Futures Institute located on Lauriston Place, steps from the central George Square campus and backed by a large park.

A sensitive restoration of a much loved civic institution in the heart of Edinburgh, the new Futures Institute building will offer 21,300 m² of space, 6,000 of which is new construction. Purpose designed spaces, tailored for individual and group study and dedicated project work will be co-located with researchers, businesses and organisations who are part of the Edinburgh Futures Institute’s thriving hub. An online tour of the Edinburgh Futures Institute shows the history of the building and the current site. The extensive restoration and building project will be complete in Summer 2023.
