With support from the Scottish Arts Council Capital Lottery Fund, Aberdeen City Council and Scottish Enterprise Grampian, Wasps was able to acquire and redevelop this building in 2005.

Langstane Place, as it’s commonly referred to, sits on the road of the same name, named after the recessed standing stone at No10. The building benefits from having a tenant-led gallery and workshop space on the ground floor, which is used for open studios events and small scale exhibitions.

The Langstane Gallery and Workshop Space was established in 2025 to create a tenant-led space for small scale exhibitions, meetings and workshops.
