As a part of its strategy for Easter Bush Campus, the University of Edinburgh required a new Early Years childcare facility. The provision of this facility would allow the University to attract and retain the highest quality researchers while supporting their childcare needs.

The building design and finishes are in keeping not only with the project brief but the surrouding areas. Externally a hit and miss natural timber cladding factory treated with the ennvironment friendly SiOO:X wood protection system has been utilised along with full height curtain walling to the south elevations ensuring panoramic views are achieved from all playrooms.
