Blog: Bayes Centre

2018

Architect: Bennetts Associates

Client: University of Edinburgh

The Bayes Centre is a large research institute for the University of Edinburgh.

Located in the heart of the City, it has become an iconic landmark of the Uni campus, and a very engaging piece of architecture.

The architects have responded well to the street edge condition,
using the building form to retain the inner city institutional typology
whilst using large atriums and courtyards to provide the otherwise voluminous building with a sense of transparency and light.

With striking sightlines within and across the courtyards, the building resents as engaging and navigable, promoting interdisciplinary interactions and a multitude of diverse activities that provide relief from the rigours of research within.
