The Chrystal Macmillan Building is recognizable by its sharp, angular facade of grey stone and extensive glass that mirrors the sky. It stands on the edge of the former Edinburgh Royal Infirmary site, housing the School of Social and Political Science. The building bears the name of a suffragist and campaigner who studied at the university in the late nineteenth century. Her portrait hangs inside, but the structure itself reflects a design strategy aimed at integrating modern academic space into a historic urban footprint.
