Alumni Gathering: 100 Years of the Joseph Black Building

Saturday, June 1, 2024 - 10:00 to 18:00

  • Joseph Black Building, David Brewster Road, Edinburgh EH9 3FJ

The year 2024 will mark 100 years since the Joseph Black Building (previously known as the Chemistry Department) was officially opened in 1924.

On Saturday 1st June 2024, we will be celebrating this anniversary with a special gathering to bring together alumni who have studied with us across the decades of our School history. We warmly invite graduates to join us in celebrating the building, the research that has taken place here over the years, and the brilliant people who have walked through our doors.

The programme will include talks from academic staff, tours of the facilities led by our current students and a networking reception. You can access the full schedule for the day at the link below:
