Background
Architecture
The name "Potterrow" recalls a medieval suburb which stood outside the town walls. Its Victorian buildings and street layout disappeared when the university demolished the area for redevelopment in the mid-1960s. With its distinctive large Plexiglas dome, the building was designed by architects Morris and Steedman and completed in 1973. The centre was refurbished in 2012.
