            Avonside Edinburgh demonstrated their slating and tiling
            expertise by supplying and fixing Cupa H3 Spanish Slates in
            diminishing courses to perfectly replicate traditional Scotch Slate
            as part of the re-development of Scotland’s oldest purpose-built
            concert hall, which originally opened in 1763.
                  Our Edinburgh branch worked alongside multinational
            UK-based contractor Interserve and Glasgow-based PagePark
            architects to repair and conserve the Category A listed building so
            that the historic musical instrument collections of the University of
            Edinburgh could be housed under one (beautifully restored!) roof.
                  The University of Edinburgh owned building has also had its gallery spaces and
            elegant Concert Room fully expanded and revamped and the support functions
            within the new extension building modified, so the treasured venue can be accessible
            and enjoyed by all.
