St Salvator's Quadrangle Improvement Project

St Salvator's Quadrangle is at the same time the historic heart of the University as well as its living room, its most photographed face and a potent symbol of a long and deep history.

In the next few years, St Salvator's Quad will serve as the set-piece for international celebrations, important community events and graduation parties (not to mention foam fights).  As St Andrews consolidates its position among the best universities in the world, it is right that this sacred centre receive the upgrades and refurbishment it needs -- including:

  • Replacement of the degraded tarmac with hard-wearing and sympathetic flagstone.
  • Restoration of the central lawn with new seasonal plantings.
  • Ramps serving the Cloister, Chapel, and Upper and Lower College Halls, as well as the Butts Wynd gate, to ensure that the space is safer and more accessible than ever before.
  • Reconditioned iron and woodwork throughout.
  • Upgraded event infrastructure, including low-energy lighting and concealed power, data and water sources to encourage regular use of this historic space.

Your support of the Quadrangle Project ensures that the next generation of students enjoys a safer, brighter, environmentally-sustainable and versatile quad.  Learn more about the project, or plan your engraved flagstone, at the links below.
