About

Edinburgh Napier University now has a number of research groups that grew out of the former Centre for Timber Engineering. For a time the “Centre for Wood Science & Technology (CWST)”, and “Centre for Offsite Construction and Innovative Structures (COCIS)” were part of “the Institute for Sustainable Construction” in the School of Engineering and the Built Environment. This research continues, but now within the “School of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment“.

We are also connected to the Centre for Conservation and Restoration Science, which is (mostly) under the School of Applied Sciences.
