Old College sits at the heart of the University’s historic estate and is arguably one of its most important buildings, forming the traditional “quad” so often found within historic learning institutions. This project involved the restoration of 6000 sq.ft.  of the first floor to create office space that accommodates a number of teams witing administration and management. The overriding principle of the project was to implement the Universities “New Ways of Working” policy with exemplifies flexible working in a way that creates a more compact, sustainable but higher quality working environment. It reflects a current, mobile approach to work with spaces specially designed for collaboration, teams calls, quiet working etc, while restoring an under-used yet important part of the university. The project was shortlisted for an award at the Learning Places Scotland Awards, 2024.
