Our facilities include an observatory, telescopes, research laboratories, and teaching laboratories, including a computer laboratory.
The Department's Cruickshank Lecturer in Astronomy is traditionally responsible for the Cromwell Tower Observatory (CTO) at King's College. We have three telescopes, including a new 16" telescope acquired in 2024 to enhance our astrophysics activities.
Our research laboratories include a photonics laboratory in the Fraser Noble Building, and a microfluidics laboratory on the Foresterhill Campus.
Our undergraduate teaching laboratories are also in Fraser Noble, and we have a large computer laboratory for MSc Data Science teaching near the Department's main offices in the Meston Building.
