Merchiston campus brings together both old and new. The Schools of Engineering and the Built Environment, Computing and Arts and Creative Industries and our Students' Association call this place home, as did John Napier himself - he was born in 1550 in the tower that still stands in the courtyard.
Located in the lively Bruntsfield area, Merchiston Campus is home to art studios, engineering & design workshops, a computer games lab and a news room & film studios for all those creative types. It's also where you'll find the award winning 500-seater Jack Kilby Computing Centre - open 24/7 in our two main teaching trimesters.
