Description

Tesco Bank is vacating its Edinburgh HQ next year, sparking rumors that Edinburgh Napier University is eyeing the space — especially as the university prepares to ditch its historic, cash-strapped Merchiston campus. Facing a £220 million RAAC repair bill and funding cuts from the Scottish Government, Napier is exploring alternatives, including selling the building or partnering with other institutions. While officials won’t confirm details, job cuts and financial pressures are reshaping higher education in Scotland — a trend mirrored by universities like Dundee. The future of Napier’s iconic campus, built around the 16th-century home of John Napier, hangs in the balance.
