Merchiston Co-location Project
Work has now begun on the Merchiston Co-location Project. Mansell Construction Services Limited are the main contractor for the project.
To enable construction of the new build music studios in the rear quadrangle, parking will be suspended from mid May 2012 until project completion in December 2012.
The project team will keep staff informed of planned works and greatly appreciate the cooperation of staff with regards to the works being carried out on the campus, we will do everything we can to minimise the impact of noise and disruption.
Helpful information for those relocating during this project is available.
