Playfair Library

Designed by William Playfair in 1827 to house the University Library, this iconic building now provides space to host up to 250 delegates theatre-style, 200 dinner guests or a reception for 450 people. Located within the Old College quadrangle, the lower floor contains four additional meeting rooms, which are ideal for break outs or stand-alone dinners and meetings.
