Entrance hall of the ICMSFacilities at ICMS

In January 2010 ICMS transferred its administrative base to 15 South College Street and shares workshop accommodation there with the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation (ECCI). This converted former church is close to the other university buildings in the centre of Edinburgh, not far from the Royal Mile and Waverley Station. (Location map from GoogleMaps.)
