UDF (University Design Forum) - Study Visit: Edinburgh Futures Institute
6th November 2025
The Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI) brings new life to the former Royal Infirmary after years of dereliction. The Category A-listed Victorian hospital was in poor condition when the University of Edinburgh bought it in 2015.
The project blends historic architecture with cutting-edge design to create a dynamic, interdisciplinary hub for research, learning, and collaboration.
