The University of Edinburgh King's Buildings Campus

The King's Buildings (colloquially known as KB) is a campus of the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, and contains most of the schools within the College of Science and Engineering, excepting only part of the School of Informatics and the School of Geosciences, which are located at the central George Square campus. The campus lies south of West Mains Road, west of Mayfield Road and east of Blackford Hill, about 2 miles (3.2 km) south of George Square. Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) and Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland (BioSS) also have facilities there.In 1919 Edinburgh University bought the land of West Mains Farm in the south of the city with the intention of building a satellite campus specialising in the Sciences. The first building was the Chemistry Building (renamed the Joseph Black Building) designed by Arthur Forman Balfour Paul in 1919. Building started in 1920 and was completed after 1924 by John Fraser Matthew. This was followed by the Zoology Building (renamed the Ashworth Laboratories) dating from 1929, also by Matthew.The name King's Buildings" is a reference to then-king George V.During World War II

My alma mater and the place that set me up for life's voyage.Welcome to one of the world's top universities....you don't fully appreciate it at the time because you're working so hard.Lots of fond memories in engineering when the Wolfson institute was still part of the University and we all got our 3rd year test chips made there.Home of the James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) and 35 years later I'm still in wonderment of what we learned in those physics labs.Outstanding quality of education and first class professors, lab techs, library, supplies and learning atmosphere.Sigh....I long to re-visit my old haunting grounds someday.

I felt intimidated because I'm not a scientist tbh. The people ther were wierd :-s

One of the top University in the world and in UK.

The campus is away from city centre, with cafes selling mainly packaged food, academic facilities are good

A nice campus with many interesting departmental building, good cafés, and students and researchers everywhere.

The environment and classroom is very conducive for learning. The library is well equipped. The staff are also supportive.

Meet one of the top 20 Universities in the world! You might even think a pleasant walk in the close park Hermitage of Braid (best panoramic view on Edinburgh from there IMHO), then come down and enjoy a coffee or a bite at one of the cafes in the Campus.

Nearly finished out new science centre for uni. Been a hard job but nearly got it over the line. Great new building

Only just started studying here but really enjoying the campus so far. Great facilities and really well located. Here's to the next 4 years!
