About this space

James Clerk Maxwell Room

Named after James Clerk Maxwell - one of Scotland’s greatest scientific minds - this room celebrates the legacy of the man who revolutionised physics with his work on electromagnetism and colour theory. Maxwell’s contributions laid the groundwork for technologies we rely on today, from radio waves to modern telecommunications.

Situated on the ground floor just off the grand entrance hall, the James Clerk Maxwell Room is a calm and versatile space ideal for meetings, interviews, and seminars. Its direct access to the Upper Gallery offers added flexibility, allowing you to create private networking areas or seamless breakout spaces alongside larger events.

A room that honours scientific discovery while providing a practical, professional environment - perfect for events that aim to inspire.
