Sir Duncan Rice Library

Last week we had the privilege of being the only drone company to ever fly inside the Sir Duncan Rice Library on the Aberdeen University Campus. This stunning Architectural masterpiece is the main academic library for the University of Aberdeen. It was designed by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects and completed in 2011. It is named after Duncan Rice, a previous Principal of the university.
