Bristo Square redevelopment

During the latter stages of October metal spots have been inserted in a drip pattern across Bristo Square and up the steps to/from the main doors of the McEwan Hall.

 

'The Next Big Thing…is a Series of Little Things', an artwork by Susan Collis and has been installed by Powderhall Bronze Foundry. www.ed.ac.uk/files/atoms/files/information_on_the_install...

 

Susan Collis, born Edinburgh, "...creates objects, interventions and situations which are all but invisible. Forgotten screws and nails, unfilled holes and scrap timber prove on closer inspection to be the result of laboured craft processes.." eastsideprojects.org/artists/susan-collis/

In 2013 the University of Edinburgh announced plans to spend £34m on improvements to the McEwan Hall and Bristo Square area. www.ed.ac.uk/estatesprojects/central-area

 

The summer graduations in 2017 took place in the McEwan Hall, but some of the finishing work was delayed into October 2017. Designed by LDN and Buro Happold this scheme is designed to restore the A listed Robert Rowan Anderson building to its former glory whilst enhancing accessibility and increasing capacity."
