The project is programmed to commence mid-April with completion mid-August. The works involve internal alterations to the upper wing, the central circle areas, hall, activity stage and adjacent corridors.

External works will include the re-roofing of the upper wing, hall and remedial works. Alteration works will take place within the P4-7 wing.

Phase 2 will include alterations to the remaining areas of the P4-7 wing, including to the main corridor network and ancillary rooms, concluding with the refurbishment of the staff toilets to form ambulant WC, and the refurbishment of the hall and activity stage.

Martin Rowley, akp Scotland joint managing director, said; “akp have built a strong track record delivering within the Education and Early Childhood Sectors having recently completed extensions of Cairns and Lainshaw Early Childhood Centres based in Kilmarnock and Stewarton respectively, along with the recent award of Newland Nursery for The Glasgow Academy.

“In addition to the operational experience of the akp team delivering projects within education and nursery environments, we also have a focus and commitment to ensuring community benefits and CSR initiatives are delivered with a fun and forward thinking approach.”
