The three-storey landmark building houses the Cairn Auditorium, a 160-capacity lecture theatre and two additional lecture theatres. Each seat is power and data equipped.

Seminar rooms, study and social zones are well equipped and provide students, professional and academic colleagues with video conferencing facilities and wi-fi communications. These high-tech spaces accommodate tutorials, researcher and staff training sessions, and are ideal for multi-site lectures, workshops, master classes, and as break-out areas for the lecture theatre.

Heriot-Watt leads the way in providing a central forum for networking and expanding collaborations with industry and commercial sectors. The Centre seeks to encourage social networking and so provides postgraduates and research associates with an open communal space on the top floor offering spectacular panoramic views of the local area.
