Royal Botanic Gardens Laboratory, Edinburgh

            By W T Oldrieve for HM Office of Works, 1909-10, completed circa 1930.  Free Renaissance-style laboratory and office building.  U-plan with symmetrical elevation to Inverleith Row. Central open-pedimented entrance bay with roll-moulded depressed-arch architrave with prominent keystone; large transomed and mullioned staircase window above door with arched tympanum in pediment bearing date, 1910; narrow windows with prominent keystones flanking door. 5 bay wings flanking to each side, divided by giant Doric pilasters.

In the early 20th century it was decided that more space was required for research, and this laboratory building along Inverleith Row was erected in 1909-10. At this point only half the present building was erected, the section left (South) of and including the main entrance, and the rear wing to the South. The building contained classrooms, water culture rooms, a dark room, myeological laboratory, photomicography room, studio and other rooms. The other half of the later symmetrical elevation was planned as a possible extension, and was built c1930.
