New Building

An ambitious international teaching and research project.

The University is undertaking one of the most ambitious projects in international medical teaching and research, with the construction of a new medical school at the heart of its science campus. This is a unique model designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration between medics and scientists and create significant advances in medical research.

The new School relocates from the Bute Building to the North Haugh. Additional images of the school and its construction are accessible on the building plans for the new School of Medicine.

The new building will facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration with the University's top rated science faculty, acknowledging the growing international consensus that the most significant advances in medical and biomedical research will result from unrestricted collaboration between medicine and the sciences.

Interdisciplinary Medical Research Institute

A key element of the new facility will be the Interdisciplinary Medical Research Institute.

It will focus on areas of research where it can be a world leader, a centre of excellence, in genuinely innovative areas of biomedical research where the University already has:

• Recognised world-class research capabilities
  
• Potential to transform medical diagnosis and treatment via multidisciplinary collaborations
  
• Research that promises to translate into future therapies which deliver major health benefits
