About Kings Buildings Edinburgh First
## King's Buildings, University of Edinburgh The Michael Swann Building stands as one of our most versatile conference facilities here at the King's Buildings campus in south Edinburgh. We've welcomed countless academic conferences and professional workshops through our doors, with guests consistently appreciating the thoughtful design that makes presentations and discussions flow naturally. Our main lecture theatre accommodates up to 373 delegates in tiered seating, each position equipped with retractable writing ledges - a feature our regular conference organisers particularly value. The graduated seating ensures everyone has clear sightlines, whether you're hosting a scientific symposium or departmental training day. Beyond the main theatre, we offer two smaller meeting rooms that work perfectly for breakout sessions or more intimate board meetings. What sets us apart from other university venues is how we've integrated practical amenities throughout the building. Our spacious registration area handles arrival crowds smoothly, while the modern café provides a natural gathering point during breaks. Being part of the University's science and engineering hub means we're surrounded by over 30 teaching and research facilities, creating an atmosphere of innovation that many corporate clients find inspiring for their strategic planning sessions. Getting here couldn't be simpler - we're well-served by Edinburgh's bus network, with regular services connecting us to the city centre. For those cycling, we provide secure bike storage facilities. Our location near Blackford Hill offers a refreshing backdrop, with many groups taking advantage of the green spaces during lunch breaks. We regularly host everything from academic conferences to industry workshops, with our Edinburgh First team managing the technical and catering requirements. The combination of our lecture theatre's capacity, supplementary meeting rooms, and on-site café creates a self-contained environment where your event can unfold without interruption.
