Edinburgh Napier University

Edinburgh Napier opened its doors as Napier Technical College in 1964, amalgamating with Napier College of Science & Technology and Edinburgh College of Commerce in 1974, before being awarded university status in 1992. In 2014 Edinburgh Napier University celebrated its 50th birthday

Merchiston Campus is built around the site of the 13th-century Napier Tower, home of John Napier, the inventor of algorithms. Craiglockhart Campus houses the War Poets Collection, a dedicated exhibition documenting the works of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon who met at Craiglockhart campus when it was used as a hospital for the treatment of shell-shocked officers during the First World War. On 25 February 2009, Napier University re-launched as Edinburgh Napier University. This was the culmination of a lengthy process of parliamentary approval and is a landmark in the University's history. The University’s Building Performance Centre was awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize 2009 for Higher and Further Education.
