CCG's building renewals division, Specialist Building Services (SBS), was chosen in November 2015 to carry out the scheme at Appleton Tower.
Features include new upgraded external thermal insulation to improve environmental performance, a new natural façade that will extend the life of the building, a newly configured main entrance offering better disability access, and a newly formed extension offering students, staff and visitors improved study, teaching and educational facilities with views across the Edinburgh skyline.

CCG Specialist Building Services Manager, Paul Muldoon, said: "Appleton Tower is one of the most challenging projects CCG SBS has ever undertaken. The level of works required to modernise the building were hugely extensive but due to the excellent management on site, we have performed them to the very highest quality standard and anticipate building awards for the project."
"We are extremely proud to have delivered what is now the first of two phases of work at Appleton Tower. The second phase, due for final completion winter 2017, has involved the extensive reconfiguration and refurbishment of teaching facilities over six floors which will improve the learning environment for both faculty and students."
