Informatics Forum

The Informatics Forum is a major building on the Central Area campus of the University of Edinburgh.

The Forum is designed by Bennetts Associates[1] with Reiach and Hall, architects, and Buro Happold, engineers.

This was followed closely by the Edinburgh Cowgate Fire of December 2002,[5] which destroyed a number of buildings, including some of the school's accommodation at 80 South Bridge.

[7] In the following years, plans for the school's accommodation were revised to include six floors of the Appleton Tower, and a new building on the Crichton Street Site.

[9] The Informatics Forum, as part of the wider Potterrow development, was joint winner of the RIAS Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award in 2008.
