Queen Margaret campus lands green gong
QUEEN Margaret University has received international recognition of its environmentally sustainable campus.
The institution was presented with a prestigious Green Apple Award, an annual accolade in recognition of building projects which enhance the built environment.
Queen Margaret University's new campus just outside Musselburgh is considered to be an inspirational example of a modern facility and is one of the UK's most environmentally sustainable.
Steve Scott, director of estates, was presented with the trophy on behalf of the university by actress Kate O'Mara at a ceremony in London.
He said: "The project team is delighted that Queen Margaret University has achieved international recognition for the ground breaking environmental design of its new campus."
The Green Apple Awards campaign is run by the Green Organisation, an independent non-political, non-profit organisation that recognises, rewards and promotes environmental best practice.
