Facilities

A lawn of green grass spreads with a sprawling town with a mixture of old and new buildings all around.

In August 2019, the Orkney Campus relocated to its new home as part of the Orkney Research and Innovation Campus (ORIC).

This multi-million-pound project, completed in 2020, was aimed at supporting the growing research and innovation activity of organisations working in Orkney’s world-leading marine renewables, energy and low carbon sector.

The fully refurbished building includes an IT lab, library and teaching rooms. There is a bright and spacious breakout area which is a great space for socialising or working while enjoying the stunning harbour views.

Teaching Rooms

The teaching rooms are equipped with high-quality audio-visual capabilities, allowing for lectures, tutorials, seminars and collaborative work. The spaces provide a modern and comfortable environment for learning.

Laboratory

ICIT's laboratory provides facilities for both staff and student research across a broad range of marine scientific fields. MSc students use the laboratory for dissertation research projects, while PhD students conduct long-term studies. The laboratory also welcomes visiting scholars undertaking work in Orkney.

Library

The library is a critical resource for staff and students. As a branch of the Heriot-Watt University library, it holds a range of relevant material. Students in Orkney also have full access to the physical and online collections of the main university library in Edinburgh.
