Discover how the University of Edinburgh has transformed the category-A listed Old Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh into Edinburgh Futures Institute, a new futures-focused space for learning, research and innovation. 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. There are 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.

No registration required, just drop-in between 10am – 4pm on Doors Open Days weekend. Explore the building, see our exhibitions and art installations, meet staff and students and take part in a range of exciting hands-on drop-in activities suitable for all ages!
