ICORS venues

 

McEwan Hall:  Teviot Pl, Edinburgh EH8 9AG

The McEwan Hall was presented to the University in 1897 by William McEwan, not only as a ceremonial hall for graduations but also as a gift to the people of Edinburgh. This iconic Grade A listed building was designed by Sir Rowand Anderson, with lavish interiors by William Palin. The building was actually completed in 1894 but took another three years to complete the interior designs, the centrepiece being the 15 beautifully painted mural panels that make up the vast dome. 

 

Appleton Tower: Appleton Tower, 11 Crichton St, Newington, Edinburgh EH8 9LE

Appleton Tower is the centrepiece of the University of Edinburgh's George Square Complex and offers five state-of-the-art lecture theatres, each seating 200 to 300 delegates, plus a teaching studio, seminar spaces and an extensive concourse area. Accessibility info here
