Building Information What is Riverside East? Riverside East is phase one of a two phase development. Phase1 will see all of the Universitys academic activities located at the Garthdee Campus. These new teaching and learning facilities include a new library as well as formal and informal leaning spaces for students. The building is on 6 oors and comprises the following three lecture theatres: 1 x 175 person capacity 1 x 100 person capacity 1 x 80 person capacity 13 seminar rooms with 30-80 person capacity three bookable IT Labs 2 x 50 person capacity & 1 x 25 person capacity 11 meeting rooms Conference Suite with 60 person capacity As well as being home to: University Library School of Pharmacy and Life Sciences - levels 5 and 6 School of Engineering levels 2,3 and 4 School of Computing Science and Digital Media levels 4 and 5 Institute for Health and Welfare Research levels 5 and 6 Institute for Innovation, Design and Sustainability Research levels 1 and 4

Design Riverside East gives the University a central point of arrival which makes the most of the riverside setting. The building is connected to the Faculty of Health and Social Care, which neighbours RGU:Sport and Aberdeen Business School. The new facilities located at the east end of the campus complement the Universitys existing buildings in terms of their innovative design and style while providing and outstanding educational environment for its students. The campus will retain its park like ambiance and provide a recreational setting for staff, students and the local community. Sustainability As part of its aim to contribute to environmental sustainability, the University has sunk bore holes for the ground heat pumps. The boreholes, which are 200 metres underground use the latent heat of the earth to heat or cool water to a constant 12 degrees which reduces the requirement for fossil fuels as the initial temperature change in the building is taken care of by the borehole system.

Cycle Parking and Changing Facilities Cycle racks are located adjacent to the entrance of the Riverside East. For information about lockers and shower facilities please see the RGU Transport web pages. Bus Service From September 2013 there will be an average of 16 buses per hour from 0800-1800, travelling from the city centre to Garthdee and back, with additional buses at peak times. The No 1 service travels to Garthdee via Holburn Street then through campus, picking up and dropping off outside Riverside East plaza. The No.2 service travels along Broomhill Road and Auchinyell Road, accessing Garthdee Road from the west. Both services take approximately the same time to travel in each direction, so either service can be used to access the Campus.

Full timetables are available to view and download from the First website www.rstgroup. com/aberdeen and Real Time bus departure information will be available in the reception area. Car Sharing The University operates a car sharing scheme as part of its Green Travel Plan to encourage the reduction of vehicles travelling to its sites. The aims of the Car Share scheme are: to reduce the impact of single car occupancy on the local environment to offer staff and students an alternative to lone driving wherever possible to utilise the limited car parking resources as efciently as possible Car sharing is when two or more registered drivers, who reside at different addresses, share the journey to and from the University by car. A car share team can include both staff and students. Even if you are not a car driver, you can still use the online Car Share search to nd someone to share the journey with.
