Why did QMU move to a new campus?
The buildings at the old Queen Margaret University campus at Corstorphine were nearing the end of their natural lives. They were inflexible and unsuitable for modern teaching and learning. Following a full option appraisal, the Governing Body agreed that a new site should be sought and that both Corstorphine and Leith campuses should be sold. Following an extensive property survey of the Gateway Theatre in 2005, the decision was made to relocate the School of Drama and Creative Industries along with the rest of Queen Margaret.
