Top marks for university's city buildings

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2005 / November 15

Eight of Edinburgh University's post-war buildings are set to be given listed status by Historic Scotland. The conservation group has identified the buildings, all built in the 1950s and 1960s, as requiring the preservation orders. The university's library in George Square, designed by Sir Basil Spence, is proposed for the highest level category A listing. Pollock Halls of Residence on Dalkeith Road, the arts faculty in George Square and the university's sports facilities in the Pleasance are among the other buildings being considered for B and C listed status.
