The campus is built around <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/2026\/04\/18\/merchiston-tower-3\/\">Merchiston Tower<\/a>, which was the family home and birthplace of John Napier, a 16th-century\u00a0Scottish mathematician who discovered logarithms and helped popularise the decimal point!<br \/>\nAlthough the tower is typically closed to the public, it is occasionally open for guided tours. So keep an eye out for any upcoming tours if you ever want to get a peek inside!<\/p>\n<p>At Merchiston, you\u2019ll find professional-standard facilities ready to provide you with some hands-on experience in creative fields, such as music recording studios and a news broadcast room. You\u2019ll also find our Merchiston library, with a full catalogue of books covering creative subjects, computing, and engineering, as well as eleven study rooms and dozens of desktop PCs in an open-plan environment with a bright.<\/p>\n<p>But perhaps the most notable feature of Merchiston is the Jack Kilby Computing Centre (JKCC) A 500 seat computer lab complete with all the facilities you\u2019ll need for your studies, including desktop computers, printers, and laptops available for loan. There is also a helpdesk where our student helpers will be available to provide you with any IT support you might need during your time here, from resetting your university password to connecting you to our precious Wi-Fi!<br \/>\nMerchiston is also where you can find the offices for <a href=\"https:\/\/my.napier.ac.uk\/wellbeing-support-and-inclusion\/edinburgh-napier-students-association\">ENSA &#8211; the Edinburgh Napier Student&#8217;s Association<\/a> which serves as the university\u2019s student union and is there to provide you with advice and support during your studies, as well as organising social events for you to meet and get to know other Napier students. ENSA also organises and oversees dozens of student societies and sports clubs active at the university.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find Merchiston in the southside of Edinburgh between Bruntsfield and Morningside, just down the road from Holy Corner (an area named because of the large number of churches it has). This makes it our most centrally located campus, and as a result, it is well served by Edinburgh&#8217;s public transport. Bus routes 11, 15, 16, 23, 36, and 45 all stop at Holy Corner just a short walk from the campus, while the 45 bus stops just across the street.<\/p>\n<h2>Craiglockhart Campus<\/h2>\n<p>Next up is Craiglockhart, home of the Business School and located in\u00a0<span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">the former\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.napier.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-location\/our-campuses\/libraries-and-heritage-collections\/heritage-collections\/war-poets-collection\/history\/1800-to-1919\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Craiglockhart Hydropathic Building<\/a>, a Victorian-era facility that originally served as a healthcare facility before <\/span>becoming a military hospital during the First World War. The most notable feature of Craiglockhart has to be the Lindsay Stewart lecture theatre, which seats 200 people and looks sort of like a giant silver egg attached to the front of the building.<\/p>\n<p>Our Craiglockhart library is directly downstairs from the entrance atrium and has an open-air plan, meaning if you\u2019re in the library, you can just look up and see right into the entrance atrium above you. Here you\u2019ll find our catalogue of books on business and law studies, collaborative study desks, and separate rooms for quiet and silent study.<br \/>\nOne of the most interesting parts of Craiglockhart is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.napier.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-location\/our-campuses\/libraries-and-heritage-collections\/heritage-collections\/war-poets-collection\">War Poets Collection,<\/a> an archive of over 800 items relating to the famous First World War poets who spent time at the building back when it was a hospital for British army officers. You can find many of these items on display in the campus atrium.<\/p>\n<p>The Craiglockhart campus is located in the southwest of the city, between Morningside and Colinton, in a quiet suburb. If you ask me, this is maybe our prettiest campus. The building is surrounded by grass and trees, and the back of the campus opens onto Craiglockhart Hill, which offers a lovely view of the surrounding area. I\u2019ve known more than one person who enjoyed spending their lunchtime going on quick walks of the hills, or otherwise just having a little picnic in the sun!<br \/>\nCraiglockhart is serviced by bus routes 4, 10, 27, and 45. It is also a quick walk uphill from Slateford train station.<\/p>\n<h2>Sighthill Campus<\/h2>\n<p>Finally, there is Sighthill, the newest of all our campuses and home to the School of Health and Social Care (SCHSC) and the School of Applied Sciences (SAS)<br \/>\nSighthill might be the most high-tech of all our campuses<span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">. At Sighthill, you\u2019ll find the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.napier.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-schools\/the-school-of-health-and-social-care\/simulation-and-clinical-skills-centre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clinical Skills Centre,<\/a> where our healthcare students can practice what they\u2019ve learned in a simulated environment that closely reflects<\/span>\u00a0the atmosphere of a real hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Sighthill also has our largest library, with over 200 computers and 9 study rooms spread across five floors of the Learning Resource Centre (LRC). On the first floor, you\u2019ll find a social area with some tables for socialising and studying. On the second floor, there is our library and IT helpdesk, along with some printers, dozens of computers, and some laptops for you to borrow. Floors three and four house our book catalogue and serve as our silent study floors. And on the fifth floor you\u2019ll find some group study rooms, along with the Horizon Suite \u2013 a conference room that has a beautiful view of the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<p>At Sighthill, you\u2019ll have access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.napier.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-location\/our-campuses\/engage\">ENGAGE Fitness,<\/a> our on-campus gym and sports facility, which is open to Napier students and members of the public. At Engage you\u2019ll find Olympic weightlifting equipment, as well as a sports hall that can be booked out for badminton, basketball, five-a-side football, and other games.<br \/>\nSighthilll is also the administrative centre of Napier, being the campus where you\u2019ll find many of our student support departments such as the International Support team, and the Finance office.<\/p>\n<p>You can find Sighthill west of the city centre just off Calder Road in the suburb of Sighthill. The campus is served by bus routes 3, 21, 25, 33, 34, and 35. You can also get here quickly by tram, with the Bankhead Loan tram stop just being a short walk away from campus.<\/p>\n<p>This post has been a long one \u2013 but then, there\u2019s lots to say and see at our campuses!<br \/>\nYour studies will mostly be centred around one campus, but hopefully this post has you excited to go visit the others while you\u2019re here!<\/p>\n<p>By Matthew Ferrie<\/p>\n<p>We have lots of campus posts, learn<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/?s=campus\"> about their quirks and histories<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campus guide At Napier, we have three university campuses spread across the city of Edinburgh, each of them outfitted with state-of-the-art facilities to assist you in your studies, and each of them serving as the central hub to our different academic schools, with the library catalogue of each campus being focused on that campus\u2019s academic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":275,"featured_media":4728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[985],"tags":[1379],"class_list":["post-5424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-university","tag-edinburghnapier-napier-napieruniversity-campusguide-campus-student-campusguide-sighthill-merchiston-craiglockhart","post-preview"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Campus guide - The Library Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our updated campus guide to help you navigate your way around Edinburgh Napier.
