The King’s Buildings is home to several education and research organisations:

– Scottish Agricultural College – Edinburgh Campus
– British Geological Survey
– Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland (BIOSS)

A cluster of science and technology companies are also located on the campus. Many of these companies are spin-out companies based on College research or start-ups which have located here to build close ties with the College.

There is a rich and varied community on the campus, with several museums showcasing historical research collections, a staff music society and the University Apiary.

The College and the University’s central units provide many essential services on the campus including library and study facilities, Estates & Buildings services and a Careers Service.
