A New Student Centre A New Student Centre This ambitious scheme will form a new dedicated hub for students, bringing together student services from the University and the Students’ Association side by side for the first time. The new Student Centre will provide a single place to access services that support student employability, finances, administration and wellbeing and success, both inside and outside the classroom. Teviot Row House, the oldest purpose built Students’ Union in the world, will be completely refurbished and made fully accessible, keeping its unique character but improving and expanding the range of services offered. Connections will also be formed with a brand new student services building on George Square. Your feedback matters Let us know what you think of the Student Centre proposals. Comment today using the forms provided or complete our online form at: www.ed.ac.uk/student-centre-consultation Thank you for coming Welcome Thank you for taking the time to look at the updated drawings for the new Student Centre. Teviot is in the heart of every student that has been through the University over the last 125 years; from the thrill of Welcome Week to the buzz of graduations and everything in between. This investment will bring key services of the University and Students’ Association together to increase accessibility and support for students. This Student Centre is forging a path to ensure we can keep Teviot as our home from home for generations to come and make sure we always have a place on campus we can be proud to call our own.

The original Teviot Row House was designed in a 16th century Scots Palace style. Externally, the building features crow stepped gables and drum towers which are reminiscent of the Falkland and Holyrood Palaces. There is also a distinctive stacking of Baronial-type spaces, from the ground floor entrance courts, to the first floor gallery rooms, to the second floor Debating Hall.

Teaching Over the past two years, £3.65 million has been spent upgrading and refurbishing nearly 100 teaching spaces. The first phase of the new Lister Learning & Teaching Centre is now open, Appleton Tower has been transformed, and our lecture recording system Media Hopper Replay is being rolled out across all 400 general teaching spaces over the next three years. Library and Study Facilities The Main Library is now open 24/7 and more than 350 new study spaces have already been created. Relocating student support services out of the Main Library and into this new Student Centre will free up around 300 additional study spaces. Wellbeing An extra £140,000 is being invested in the Student Counselling Service over the next two years, along with improvements across Disability Services. Our Student Mental Health Strategy sets out how we will improve support for students and promote initiatives around health and wellbeing. Improved facilities for the Counselling and Disability Services will be hosted in either the new Student Centre or very nearby. 15 The University of Edinburgh Wider Investments Sport We’ll be rolling out a masterplan for Outdoor Sport later this year setting out planned improvements at Peffermill, Firbush Outdoor Centre and a new Rowing Centre in Strathclyde Park. Societies The Pleasance has just reopened after a £6million renovation with improved facilities for University societies and student groups, including a revamped Pleasance Café & Bar, new events spaces and improved disabled access. University of Edinburgh A Masterplan for Outdoor Sports November 2016 Student Accommodation We’re investing in the1 range and quality of student accommodation. New residences at O’Shea Hall have scooped UK awards. At the same time, some accommodation prices have been frozen to help make studying at Edinburgh more affordable for all. Working together We’re listening to student feedback. Our new Student Partnership Agreement sets out how the University will continue to work with the Students’ Association to improve the Edinburgh experience. .

  • Vision 2019 Updating You on the Greyfriars Community
    Vision 2019 Updating you on the Greyfriars Community Welcome/Fáilte! It has been two years since the Greyfriars Review was first published. Much has been happening in the Greyfriars community and therefore there is a lot to report! ‘Vision 2019’ aims to give you an update on what we have been doing and to outline future plans. Worship, the arts and community outreach are centered at our three locations – Greyfriars Kirk (GK), the Grassmarket Community Project (GCP) and the Greyfriars Charteris Centre (GCC). They are managed independently, but key members are common to all three organisations so the Greyfriars ethos and ideals are maintained. With enlarged teams, we are taking on more work and responsibilities within the parish and wider community. As with any organisation we are very dependent on our dedicated members, congregation, volunteers and staff to make things happen and are therefore very grateful to them all. We welcome new faces to be part of our community and if you would like to get involved, we will find a place for you.

Disrupting place attachment has a negative impact on people’s psychological well-being and the health of their communities. Place attachment can motivate people’s engagement in civic actions to protect their beloved places from being destroyed, especially when buildings and public spaces are demolished or redeveloped in historic places. However, the UK planning and heritage sectors have made only limited attempts to understand people’s attachment to the historic environment and how it may influence planning, conservation and development that affects historic places.

We have also increased provision for access patrons in other ways, including offering all frontline festival staff disability awareness training and expanding the number of shows in our programme offering accessible performances within their run. We recognise that there is always more that can be done to improve the way our venue operates and we will endeavour to continually assess the accessibility of our venue and artistic programme. We are always open to new partnerships which will assist us in this venture and welcome any feedback either via the contact details below or through Euan’s Guide. ​ ​ Updated: May 2019 The Pleasance Theatre Trust Ltd Contact Us To contact us regarding access queries, please email [email protected] or call the ​ box office on 0131 556 6550.

  • Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue Is a Signifi Cant Theatre-Specifi C Environmental Project Being Run by the Theatres Trust
    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener. Ecovenue is promoting the sustainability of theatres and the reduction of carbon emissions through the provision of free theatre-specifi c, environmental advice. The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres. Any theatre can join the DEC Pool. The Trust’s Theatres Magazine provides quarterly reports on the participants and the work of the Ecovenue project. The Theatres Trust Ecovenue project receives fi nancial support from the European Regional Development Fund.
