The name 'Potterrow' comes from a medieval suburb which stood outside the town walls, but which had been replaced by Victorian buildings and street layout which the University demolished in the mid 1960s.
The Potterrow building is run by Edinburgh University Students Association. It was renamed The Mandela Centre in 1986. During the Festival it is used as a Fringe venue with several performing spaces, under the name Pleasance Dome. It was refurbished in 2012 and the University has made further recent developments in the area.
