The ceremony was a way to celebrate the building’s transition from its past identity as the Old Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh to its current and future identity: a place of learning, research and community-building.

Guests included University staff and students, the local community, and collaborators and partners involved in ‘Recycling a Hospital’.
