<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The [[Chancellor's Building]], a new home for Edinburgh University's [[Faculty of Medicine|Medical School]], was opened on 12 August 2002 by the [[Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (1921- )|Duke of Edinburgh]] in his capacity as [[Chancellor]] of Edinburgh University. <br />
<br />
In the 1990s it became apparent that the Victorian Royal Infirmary buildings in Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, were no longer adequate for a modern teaching hospital. The Scottish Secreteary Donald Dewar (1937-2010) authorized a joint project between private finance, the local authorities, and the University to create a large modern hospital and new medical campus at Little France.<br />
<br />
The Chancellor's building is now the Faculty of Medicine's main teaching facility, also housing lecture theatres, research laboratories, a new medical library, and administrative offices. It is home to the [[Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine]], the [[Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research]] and the [[Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic]].<br />
