Angus Council took the decision last month to progress with the building, which will be delivered by contractor Roberston, architects Norr and the Procurement Hub.

The design reflects the outcomes of previous consultations which can be found here.

Convener of Children and Learning, Councillor Lynne Devine, said: “This is a very exciting time for the Monifieth Learning Campus project as we reveal the initial proposals. These are based on the outcomes of previous consultations and have been carefully budgeted. However, this is the time when the building starts to move from an abstract idea to actual proposals and people can imagine what it will really be like and give their views.

“I’d like to encourage everyone with a stake in this new building whether their young people are at the high school now or still at primary schools, to either come along and chat to the team or take advantage of the ways to get involved online. We want everyone to be as fully informed as possible.”

The current design proposals can be viewed in person at several drop-in events when there will also be the opportunity to speak to members of the design team. These are being held on:

• Thursday 28 July 2022 anytime between 3.00pm to 6.30pm, at Monifieth High School, Panmurefield Road, Monifieth, DD5 4QT
• Tuesday 2 August 2022 anytime between 4.00pm to 6.00pm, at Birkhill Primary School, Dronley Road, Birkhill, DD2 5QD
• Wednesday 24 August 2022 anytime between 4.00pm to 7.00pm, at Monifieth High School, Panmurefield Road, Monifieth, DD5 4QT

Those who cannot make the physical events can view the proposals in Monifieth Library or on the Angus Council website until 26 August 2022.

Kevin Cooper, director of NORR, said: “NORR is delighted to be involved in this highly sustainable project which will have a positive, transformational impact on the learning environment for the staff and students of Monifieth High School.”

Kevin Dickson, regional managing director, Robertson Construction Tayside, said: “We have been working closely with Angus Council on the proposals for the new learning campus at Monifieth. The proposed new campus further illustrates the council’s commitment to investment in education and in the health and wellbeing of local community users. The community has played a key role in the designing of the new campus, and we are excited to unveil how their feedback has been reflected on the proposed designs now being put forward. We are proud to be the contractor of choice and look forward to hearing the views of the local community.”

Louise Dodds, client relationship manager, Procurement Hub – Major Projects, added: “We are delighted to be the framework of choice for the development of this new education campus in Angus, which has enabled a flexible solution to be proposed. We are sure that the local community will be as excited by the proposals as we are, and we look forward to hearing their views.”
