Suttie Centre

The Suttie Centre for Teaching & Learning in Healthcare is a partnership between the University of Aberdeen and NHS Grampian.

Designed by Edinburgh architects Bennetts Associates, the £20 million, five-storey, timber-clad building opened in September 2009.

[1] Part of the University of Aberdeen, College of Life Sciences and Medicine, the centre is used for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students, and a wide range of healthcare staff use it for their continuing professional development.

[1] The centre contains the university Anatomy department, a 220-seat lecture theatre, a simulated ward area and facilities for the ‘volunteer patients’ who support the teaching of clinical skills.

[3][4] The centre is the fulfilment of the vision of Professor Matthew Hay for the Foresterhill Health Campus, a joint site for healthcare.
