CAMPUS CENTRAL The University of Stirling is undertaking an exciting new infrastructure project called Campus Central – one of the biggest since their foundation. This £21 million project will create a new three-storey building at the heart of campus and give students, staff and visitors a host of new study and social spaces to take advantage of. This important investment will mean a few changes for us at Macrobert Arts Centre and you our customers, but we’ll be keeping you up to date with all the latest info on our website, social media channels and e-newsletters. MAIN DOORS The first change you’ll notice, at some point in early 2019, is the relocation of our front entrance. You’ll be coming into our building from a new double door on the lochside instead, but don’t worry there’ll be signs to point you in the right direction. ACCESSIBLE PARKING The accessible parking spaces will be moving too, but there are plans for a few more of these and you’ll still be able to drop off near our new main doors. We’re working with the University to keep the disruption associated with these changes to a minimum, but please bear with us during this re-development – we’re here to help make your visits to Macrobert Arts Centre as enjoyable and easy as they’ve always been. Look out for all the latest info on our website and we look forward to seeing you soon.
