Craigiebuckler campus
The Hutton Hub
We are delighted to announce our Aberdeen site has re-opened, having now been enhanced, with suites available for hire all equipped with the latest technologies. Financed by the Scottish Government’s Just Transition Fund, the Macaulay Development Trust and the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, the Hub, a new multi-million-pound development, features a variety of spaces which are open to hire for businesses and the public.
These spaces offer a space for academics, businesses and the public to collaborate and use cutting-edge technology, including our 360 degree immersive suite, to help the north-east achieve a Just Transition to Net Zero.
