University of Edinburgh: King's Buildings Campus

Since its establishment in 1920, the King’s Buildings campus, housing most of the University’s College of Science and Engineering, has experienced vast transformation, evolving to meet research and teaching requirements throughout the past century.
Find examples of architectural developments across the site and discover more through guided tours and information panels. Additionally, there is a variety of interactive activities through which the whole family can explore cutting-edge scientific research into natural history, acoustics, permaculture gardening, advanced transportation, higher dimensions, and much more.
