£15m Renton campus plans submitted
Holmes Miller has submitted a planning application for the creation of a new educational campus for West Dunbartonshire Council.
About this development:
- Authority:West Dunbartonshire
- Type:Education
- Team:Holmes Miller (architect), Morgan Sindall (developer)
Set to be constructed by Morgan Sindall on the current Renton Primary school site, the new campus will comprise a new Renton Primary School, Renton Language & Communication Unit (an Additional Support Needs enhanced support setting) and a new Riverside Early Learning and Childcare Centre (ELCC).
Plans for the £15.1 million campus were unveiled by West Dunbartonshire Council last month for public feedback ahead of the submission for planning approval.
Holmes Miller said: “Thorough stakeholder consultation solidified WDC Education Learning & Attainment’s aspiration to create a forward-looking education facility providing variety and delight throughout the children’s learning journey.
“The facility takes on the role of ‘Learning Ladder’ with stages of learning configured vertically to reflect the stages of maturation of children and young people and the changing ways in which they engage with learning as they develop.
“External learning plays a crucial role in this development with the ground level playground complimented with external terraces at the upper levels to provide direct access to the learning zones.”
Construction work is programmed to commence in 2020.
