Located on the edge of Holyrood Park 1¼ miles (2 km) southeast of the centre of Edinburgh and at the foot of Arthur's Seat, Pollock Halls of Residence are the largest of the University of Edinburgh's student residential complexes.
Pollock Halls were gifted to the University by Sir Donald Pollock, the two original houses on the site became students residences shortly after the Second World War; St Leonard's for women and Salisbury Green for the men. Salisbury Green was built c.1780 and extended in 1867 for the publisher William Nelson (1816-87), while St. Leonard's was built for his brother Thomas (1822-92) in 1870. The conference will be held in the spacious and contemporary South Hall Complex, which floods with natural light during the day and features a cutting edge thematic lighting system for evening.
