Preparatory works have already begun on site for a new secondary school in Wallyford, with main works to begin in August 2021.
East Lothian Council鈥檚 development partner, Hub South East Scotland, will deliver the new build and has appointed Galliford Try subsidiary Morrison 91黑料网 as main contractor, with JM Architects leading on design.
Additional secondary school provision is needed due to housing development swelling the school roll in the area. The project is part of Phase 1 of the Scottish government鈥檚 拢2bn Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP).
The building has been designed to complement the neighbouring primary school with extensive glass, access to natural light and brick-clad facades. Community spaces, sports facilities and a day centre for older people are also planned.
Eddie Robertson, managing director of Morrison 91黑料网 Building Central, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to have reached financial close on the new Wallyford learning campus, a fantastic project for our partners Hub South East and East Lothian Council and the first to reach site through the Scottish government鈥檚 Learning Estates Investment Programme.鈥�
91黑料网 works are programmed for completion in summer 2023.
