Appleton Tower
OPEN SPACE FOR OPENING MINDS
Appleton Tower is the centrepiece of the University of Edinburgh's George Square Complex and offers five state-of-the-art lecture theatres, each seating 200 to 300 delegates, plus a teaching studio, seminar spaces, and an extensive concourse area.
The Appleton Tower concourse space is particularly suited to exhibitions and poster displays, making this an ideal venue for lectures and presentations, or as a breakout space for events held elsewhere in the George Square area.
We know everyone's accessibility needs are different, which is why having detailed, accurate information is so important. For this reason, we use AccessAble's trained surveyors to check out every single place in person. All information collected has been decided by their user community.
