The Lauriston Building is an out-patient centre in Lauriston, Edinburgh, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Lothian.1
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 1916.234
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 Edinburgha and was built between 19765 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
