History
The current building replaced a former tenement building which stood in the site, No. 33–49, which was particularly known for having suffered from aerial bombing by a German Zeppelin on 2 April 1916.[2][3][4]
The new building, which was designed by Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall, formed part of the first phase of the intended re-development of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh[a] and was built between 1976[5] and 1981.[6]
The Edinburgh Dental Institute moved to the building from Chambers Street in 1997.[6] Since the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh moved to Little France in 2001, the building has been used as a centre for outpatient services.[7]
Services
It is used for outpatient services by ear, nose and throat, dermatology and orthopaedic departments.[1]
