Edinburgh College of Art, Art school in Old Town, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
The Edinburgh College of Art occupies a red sandstone building with grand pillared entrances and features the Sculpture Court displaying antique statuary collections.
Founded in 1760 as the Trustees Drawing Academy of Edinburgh, the institution moved to its current location in 1907 and merged with the University of Edinburgh in 2011.
The college provides education across five departments including art, music, design, history of art, and architecture, serving over three thousand students from various backgrounds.
The building underwent extensive renovations to modernize facilities while maintaining historical elements, including the integration of new heating systems and photovoltaic panels.
The West Court studio transformed a former unused light well into an exhibition gallery, seminar room, and performance venue within the historical structure.
