The Potterrow Mandela Centre or Potterrow Student Centre is a students' union building in Edinburgh, Scotland. The building is operated by Edinburgh University Students' Association. The name "Potterrow" recalls a mediaeval suburb which stood outside the town walls. Its Victorian buildings and street layout disappeared when the University demolished the area for redevelopment in the mid-1960s. Potterrow contains a variety of student entertainment and support services including two shops, a cafe, Edinburgh's largest nightclub, two banks, the University's Chaplaincy, (The Advice Place ) and the main EUSA offices.〔Edinburgh University Students' Association, (George Square and Potterrow )〕 During the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August, the building is used as a comedy venue with five performing spaces known as the Pleasance Dome.〔()〕 In 1986 students voted to rename the centre in honour of imprisoned anti-apartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.edinburghgigarchive.com/page8.htm )〕 The building, with a distinctive large Plexiglas dome, was designed by noted architects Morris and Steedman and completed in 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ldn.co.uk/potterrow/pdf/Design_and_Access_Report.pdf )〕 The centre was refurbished in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.graham.co.uk/whatwedodetail/3/211/potterrow-dome-courtyard.aspx?expanddiv=slide_3,slide_2 )〕 == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Potterrow Student Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
