About Us

As a world-leading research-intensive University, we are here to address tomorrow’s greatest challenges. Between now and 2030 we will do that with a values-led approach to teaching, research and innovation, and through the strength of our relationships, both locally and globally.

The Team

The University of Edinburgh was founded in 1583 and currently occupies more than 550 academic, administrative and residential buildings throughout the city of Edinburgh across 5 campuses; Central Area, Kings Buildings, Easter Bush, Bio- Quarter and the Western General Hospital. There are also sporting facilities at Peffermill.

The estate is an exciting mix of eras and architecture. Whilst many of the buildings enjoy listed status and are integral to the unique qualities and characteristics of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Edinburgh, many more have been added over the years as the University has grown. The portfolio ranges from nationally important, iconic, historical buildings through to state of the art teaching, research and sporting facilities. The University of Edinburgh has a significant programme of estates investment underway, in both capital development and also in the infrastructure and resilience of the estate. This investment will help to ensure that the university remains at the forefront of world leading teaching, learning and research.

The Estates Department is part of the Corporate Services Group and provides a range of key activities that help the University to achieve its corporate objectives. It is an integrated centre of excellence responsible for implementing decisions related to the buildings, fabric and infrastructure of the University. It provides specialist advice to the University on strategic estates issues as well as its statutory obligations.
