Robertson Construction has been appointed as main contractor for the £29 million redevelopment of St Peter’s RC School in Aberdeen, following financial close on a major education project that will transform Old Aberdeen House into a modern primary school. The ambitious scheme, commissioned by Aberdeen City Council and designed by JM Architects, will combine the refurbishment of an existing building with a substantial new extension, creating improved teaching facilities and specialist learning environments for up to 434 pupils. The project is being delivered through hub North Scotland’s North Schools Programme and represents a significant investment in Aberdeen’s education infrastructure, supporting the council’s commitment to providing high-quality learning environments for children and the wider community. Construction is scheduled for completion during winter 2027/28, with the new school expected to become operational in early 2028. Major Refurbishment and New School Facilities The redevelopment will see Old Aberdeen House comprehensively refurbished and adapted to accommodate the educational requirements of St Peter’s RC School. The existing building will be transformed to provide 14 modern classrooms, alongside a general-purpose teaching room and dedicated nurture and sensory facilities. These specialist spaces will support a range of learning needs, providing flexible environments designed to enhance pupils’ educational experiences and wellbeing. A new extension will complement the refurbished building, introducing a purpose-built sports hall, dining hall and staff facilities. Together, the refurbished accommodation and new construction will create a two-stream primary school capable of accommodating up to 434 pupils. The scheme has been designed by JM Architects, with the architectural approach bringing together the adaptation of an existing property and the provision of new educational accommodation. For the construction and public sector property industries, the project demonstrates the opportunities associated with repurposing established buildings for modern educational use, while incorporating new facilities to meet changing operational requirements. The combination of refurbishment and extension will require careful coordination between the existing structure and newly constructed elements, ensuring the completed school operates as a cohesive educational environment. Investment in Modern Learning Environments The £29 million redevelopment forms part of Aberdeen City Council’s investment in education infrastructure, with a focus on creating improved learning spaces and facilities that can support pupils and teaching staff for years to come. The inclusion of dedicated nurture and sensory accommodation is a particularly important element of the project, reflecting the growing emphasis on providing inclusive and adaptable educational environments. Alongside traditional classroom accommodation, these facilities will offer additional spaces to support pupils with different learning and developmental needs. The new sports and dining halls will also enhance the school’s wider facilities, creating improved spaces for physical education, school activities and daily operations. Elliot Robertson, Chief Executive Officer of Robertson Group, welcomed the appointment and highlighted the importance of the organisation’s established relationship with Aberdeen City Council and hub North Scotland. “Reaching contract close at St Peter’s is an important milestone and reflects the strength of our longstanding partnership with hub North Scotland and Aberdeen City Council,” he said. “Together, we are building on a strong track record of delivering high-quality schools and creating a modern learning environment that will support pupils, staff and the wider community for generations to come.” Strengthening Aberdeen’s Education Infrastructure The project represents another important milestone in the delivery of public sector education facilities across the north of Scotland. Through hub North Scotland’s North Schools Programme, local authorities and delivery partners are working together to progress investment in school buildings and improve educational accommodation. Robertson Construction’s appointment will bring its construction expertise to the refurbishment and extension of Old Aberdeen House, with the programme focused on delivering a modern school environment within the agreed timeframe. The redevelopment will also demonstrate how existing buildings can be adapted for educational purposes, combining refurbishment with new construction to provide facilities suited to contemporary teaching requirements. Councillor Martin Greig, Convener of Aberdeen City Council’s Education and Children’s Services Committee, welcomed the progress being made. “I am delighted that we are actioning this important priority. Pupils will benefit from the significantly enhanced learning environment that is being created for them,” he said. “The new build will have excellent facilities, high-quality spaces and improved amenities. It’s great to see this advanced stage of construction. It is very satisfying to make this major project happen.” Completion Targeted for Early 2028 With financial close achieved and Robertson Construction appointed as main contractor, the project is progressing towards the delivery of a significantly improved educational facility for Aberdeen. The construction programme is scheduled to conclude during winter 2027/28, allowing the new St Peter’s RC School to become operational in early 2028. Once complete, the development will provide 14 classrooms, specialist teaching and support spaces, a new sports hall, dining facilities and accommodation for staff. The £29 million investment will create a modern two-stream primary school with capacity for 434 pupils, bringing together refurbished accommodation and new facilities within a single educational environment. For Aberdeen City Council, the project represents a substantial commitment to improving local school infrastructure, while for Robertson Construction and JM Architects, it provides an opportunity to deliver a major public sector development combining architectural adaptation, modern construction and enhanced educational facilities. The transformation of Old Aberdeen House will ultimately provide St Peter’s RC School with a new home designed to support the educational needs of future generations.

Project milestone brings school’s education estate into single state-of-the-art building Staff and pupils at Wester Hailes High School have returned from half term into their brand new school building this week, replacing four separate teaching blocks with a single, modern education facility. McLaughlin & Harvey was appointed by the Council to deliver the 800 capacity new building, which is designed around a central, bright and open atrium, bringing pupils together while connecting departments and classrooms. Each floor features a series of breakout and retreat spaces to offer pupils choice on where they want to work, socialise or take time out. Internal spaces have been decorated with warm colours and light woods to create comfortable spaces for learning and coming together. One of the existing buildings on the site – featuring catering, sports and swimming facilities – has been retained and refurbished. This block will operate as a secure community hub, with easily accessible services for local people while maintaining the safety of users. Edinburgh Leisure reopened its refurbished leisure facilities at the school earlier this month. The building also includes a range of different flexible, collaborative spaces to support staff, students and the community. Members of the community will be able to see the new facilities first hand at an open evening on Tuesday 27 October between 5pm and 7pm. The final phase of the school redevelopment project will see the remaining former buildings demolished, to be replaced with outdoor learning spaces, an urban woodland area (creating natural habitat, play spaces and a learning resource) and a community allotment that will provide growing beds, poly tunnels and picnic benches for use by the local community. Additional landscaping will also improve secure access to the school site from the Union Canal tow path. As with other recently opened buildings in the Council’s learning estate, the school has been built to Passivhaus standard, minimising energy consumption and reducing the reliance on active heating or cooling systems, ensuring sustainable and eco-friendly construction. In addition to the Passivhaus design, the new school includes other sustainable features supporting the Council to meet its sustainability commitments. This includes measures to improve the air quality and thermal performance of the building which are vital to achieving Passivhaus certification. The new school building has been designed in line with the guiding principles of the Scottish Government’s Learning Estate Strategy and is one of the projects in the second phase of the Scottish Government’s Learning Estate Investment Programme, alongside the recently opened Liberton Community Campus. Children, Education and Families Convener, Councillor James Dalgleish, said: Opening this new school building is a major landmark moment for pupils, staff and the wider community in Wester Hailes. I’m really impressed with the quality of the spaces, and the building is all set to provide a modern, sustainable learning environment designed to support young people for generations to come. This investment is about more than just education. We’ve created a valuable community asset, bringing together learning, sport and support spaces in one accessible location. Through our Living Well Locally approach, we’re creating a hub that will help strengthen and serve the community for many years ahead. Dougie McCusker, Construction Director at McLaughlin & Harvey, said: It’s fantastic to see pupils and staff enjoying the new building. Having been designed and constructed to Passivhaus standards, the facility futureproofs the school’s estate for generations to come. Operationally, we faced the challenge of building the new facility while the school was still open and in close proximity to the construction works, however, we were able to ensure disruption was kept to an absolute minimum. The hard work by the whole project team, the designers, consultants and the client was definitely worth it when you see the cutting-edge building in use today.

Operated by North West Academies Trust (NWAT), which operates 14 primary and secondary schools across Cheshire and Shropshire, the new school provides modern teaching and learning facilities across two floors and is now welcoming its first intake of Reception pupils. The official opening was marked with a ribbon cutting by Mayor of Nantwich, Cllr Kim Jamson, and attended by representatives from Conlon Construction, Cheshire East Council and NWAT, alongside headteacher Sally Burns, pupils, staff and members of the project team. The new school provides eight classrooms, alongside dedicated spaces for learning, sport and play. External facilities include an athletics track, multi-use sports field and kitchen garden, with measures also incorporated to support and enhance biodiversity across the site. Sustainability and social value were embedded throughout the project. Conlon worked with local suppliers and created opportunities to engage with future pupils during construction, including inviting local children to take part in a steel frame signing event earlier this year. Pupils added their initials to a structural beam, leaving a permanent mark within their new school. The project builds on Conlon Construction’s established relationship with Cheshire East Council and its track record of delivering education, regeneration and public-sector projects across the borough. Previous schemes include the transformation of Wilmslow High School and Springfield School in Wilmslow, while Conlon also handed over Crewe Municipal Buildings earlier this year. Guy Parker, Chair and Managing Director of Conlon Construction, said: “Kingsbourne Academy is an important investment in the growing Kingsley Fields community and a project we’re incredibly proud to have delivered. “Our long-standing relationship with Cheshire East Council is built on collaboration, trust and a shared commitment to delivering the best possible outcomes for local communities. It’s fantastic to now see pupils coming through the doors and making the school their own. “Creating places that deliver lasting value is what our work is ultimately about, and we wish Sally, her team and every pupil at Kingsbourne Academy every success in their new school.” Steve Docking OBE, Chief Executive Officer of North West Academies Trust, said: “Today is a hugely significant moment for Kingsbourne Academy and for the Nantwich community. Opening a brand-new school is a rare opportunity, and to see our very first pupils arrive this morning has been a tremendously proud moment for everyone involved. “We are delighted to welcome Sally, her staff team and our founding families to the Kingsbourne community. There is an enormous amount of excitement about what this school can become, and we are looking forward to watching it grow over the coming years.” Councillor Laura Crane, cabinet member for children’s services at Cheshire East Council, said: “It’s fantastic to see Kingsbourne Academy officially opening its doors and welcoming its first pupils. This new school is a wonderful addition to Nantwich, providing much-needed places for local families and creating exciting opportunities for children to learn, grow and thrive. “Kingsbourne is about so much more than a new building. It will become an important part of the local community, providing support for families, helping to meet growing demand for school places, and giving children the best possible start to their education. “I’d like to thank Conlon Construction and the North West Academies Trust for bringing this fantastic new school to life. I’m excited to see Kingsbourne Academy become a valued part of the community and look forward to celebrating the successes of its pupils for many years to come.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

GRAHAM has signed the contract for a £50 million redevelopment of Cranbourne Secondary School in Basingstoke, paving the way for a major overhaul of the existing campus and the replacement of buildings affected by reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC). The project will see seven existing buildings replaced by a new 10,000 sq m school at the current Wessex Close site, creating modern teaching, specialist learning and sports facilities for pupils and the wider school community. Early works began during the summer, with foundation construction scheduled to get underway in the autumn as the main programme gathers pace. The new school will comprise interconnected two and three-storey accommodation, bringing facilities that are currently spread across the 6.8-hectare campus together within a more consolidated and efficient building. A significant range of specialist teaching spaces will be provided, including facilities for music, art, design and technology, ICT and humanities, alongside dedicated maths and science classrooms. Sport will also form an important part of the redevelopment, with plans incorporating an activity studio, sports hall and swimming pool. Dedicated SEND accommodation will be included within the new school, together with an administration suite and separate entrances for the school and community. The redevelopment extends beyond the main building, with extensive external works planned across the campus. These will include new sports pitches, reconfigured staff parking and a cycle shelter. Sustainability measures are also being incorporated into the design, including green roofs and solar photovoltaic canopies to improve the environmental performance of the new school estate. GRAHAM regional director Pat O’Hare said the new two and three-storey development would bring teaching, specialist learning and sporting facilities together under one roof, providing a significant improvement to the existing campus. The project is particularly important given the presence of RAAC within some of Cranbourne Secondary School’s existing 1960s buildings. Their replacement forms part of the wider investment taking place across the education estate to provide safer, more modern and efficient learning environments. The professional team includes Mason Navarro Pledge as structural engineer, while Cundall is providing MEP engineering services. For GRAHAM, Cranbourne Secondary School represents its third appointment through the Department for Education’s Construction Framework 2021. The contractor’s previous appointments through the framework include The Castle Rock School in Leicestershire and Oasis Academy Temple Quarter in Bristol, strengthening its portfolio of major education projects across the country. With early works already under way and foundations set to follow this autumn, the £50 million investment will deliver a substantial transformation of the Basingstoke school estate, replacing ageing accommodation while bringing teaching, sports and specialist facilities together within a modern purpose-designed campus.

Bouygues UK has secured a £64 million contract to deliver the major redevelopment of Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School in Crawley as part of the Government’s School Rebuilding Programme. Construction is due to begin this month on the phased transformation of the West Sussex campus, with the programme carefully planned to allow the school to remain fully operational throughout the works. At the centre of the redevelopment will be a new 9,300 sq m, three-storey teaching building constructed on land to the south of the existing school. Pupils and staff will transfer into the new accommodation before the older buildings are demolished, helping to minimise disruption to education during construction. Bouygues will also refurbish the existing 1,500 sq m Young Building as part of the wider project, retaining and upgrading part of the school estate alongside the substantial new-build element. The completed campus will increase Holy Trinity’s capacity from approximately 1,410 pupils to 1,500, providing modern teaching and learning environments designed to meet the school’s long-term requirements. New facilities will include an assembly hall, sixth-form hub and library alongside a range of specialist teaching spaces. The external areas will also undergo significant investment, with five multi-use games areas, landscaped recreation space and a new car park forming part of the plans. Sustainability and building performance will be important elements of the design, with the new school targeting BREEAM Excellent. Rooftop solar photovoltaic panels will contribute renewable electricity, while a ground-source heat pump and passive ventilation will help reduce the building’s operational energy requirements and support the delivery of a lower-carbon education estate. The project also presents a complex construction and logistics challenge, with Bouygues required to deliver the new facilities alongside a live secondary school accommodating more than 1,400 pupils. Mark Cesenek, managing director at Bouygues UK, said: “Holy Trinity is exactly the kind of project we do best — complex, phased, delivered on a live site.” Once the new teaching building is operational, the redevelopment will move into its subsequent demolition, refurbishment, landscaping and external works phases. Completion of the overall project is scheduled for late 2029, when Holy Trinity will benefit from a larger and significantly modernised campus combining new-build teaching accommodation, upgraded existing facilities, improved sports provision and more energy-efficient building systems. The £64 million investment represents another substantial public sector construction project under the School Rebuilding Programme, replacing ageing education infrastructure while creating a modern campus designed to serve pupils and the wider Crawley community for decades to come.

McLaughlin & Harvey has been appointed by the Education Authority as the main construction contractor on the phase 1 expansion of specialist SEN provision at Rathore School, enabling much needed facilities for children in the Newry, Mourne and Down area. The scheme, which is being delivered in three stages, is the first construction project in Northern Ireland for the Antrim based firm since the completion of the new distillery at Bushmills in 2021. This first phase of the project will see current and future pupils at Rathore SEN School will benefit from nine new classroom facilities with additional outdoor play areas, car parking and outdoor landscaping, ensuring the school meets the growing needs of the SEN community in the Newry Mourne and Down area. The project is well underway, with the scheme making use of modern methods of construction to minimise disruption to existing staff and pupils, including off-site fabrication of 1,300m2 of classroom and ancillary rooms. Completion is expected by the end of December 2026, with the new facilities ready to receive pupils from August 2027 onwards following further fit out by Rathore School. Gavin Parkinson, Operations Director at McLaughlin & Harvey said: “Our experience working on public sector construction and infrastructure projects across the whole of the UK means we’re ideally placed to deliver a project as important and sensitive as the one at Rathore School. We understand that the need for SEN school facilities across Northern Ireland is a pressing issue, and our approach to modern methods of construction will enable smooth delivery, ensuring classrooms are ready to meet the needs of young people in the area.” “Although our civils team has continued to thrive in Northern Ireland, we’re extremely proud to see our construction team back on site for a Northern Irish project.” Dale Hanna, EA Chief Operations Officer, said: “This project will make a real difference for children and young people with SEN and their families, giving them access to modern, purpose-built accommodation designed around their needs. “EA will continue to consider every available option to increase capacity and support children and young people to access appropriate SEN provision as close as possible to their local community. “This investment forms part of EA’s wider capital programme to expand SEN provision across Northern Ireland and support children and young people now and in the years ahead.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Willmott Dixon has secured planning permission for the near £50 million redevelopment of Bramhall High School in Stockport, paving the way for construction of a new three-storey secondary school to replace the existing RAAC-affected campus. Construction is expected to begin in January 2027, with the replacement school being built alongside the existing facilities to allow teaching to continue while the major redevelopment progresses. Designed by Sheppard Robson, the new school will accommodate 1,350 pupils on the existing 36-acre site off Seal Road. The project will consolidate the current sprawling school estate into a modern purpose-built teaching environment, while addressing problems associated with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) within the existing buildings. Once the new building has been completed, most of the existing school estate will be demolished, although the newer maths block will be retained and incorporated into the future campus. The replacement school will include 25 general classrooms and 10 science laboratories alongside specialist teaching facilities for drama, computing, ICT, art and design. Five dedicated SEND classrooms will also be provided, together with an assembly hall featuring tiered seating, dining facilities, a library and new staff and support accommodation. Sport will form another major part of the redevelopment. Indoor facilities will include a four-court sports hall, activity studio and changing accommodation, significantly improving the school’s provision for pupils and physical education. Externally, the plans include two replacement multi-use games areas and a new 3G sports pitch, while the existing hockey pitch will be retained. The phased construction strategy will be particularly important to the delivery of the project, allowing the existing school to remain operational while Willmott Dixon builds the replacement accommodation elsewhere on the site. The subsequent demolition and external works will then enable the wider campus to be reorganised around the new building. The project forms part of the continuing programme of investment required across the education estate following the discovery of RAAC in school buildings around the country. With planning now secured, the Bramhall High School redevelopment moves a significant step closer to construction, delivering modern teaching, SEND and sports facilities while replacing ageing and RAAC-affected accommodation with a more consolidated school campus for 1,350 pupils.

Cutting-edge building replaces existing Liberton High School as part of new community, lifelong learning and sports campus Staff and pupils at Liberton High School have started the new school year in their brand new state-of-the-art learning and community campus this week, after the building was handed over to the Council. Balfour Beatty was appointed by the Council to deliver the new building, which has been designed by jmarchitects. The new campus has been formed with the needs of learners in mind. To encourage collaborative learning, the school building features breakout and retreat spaces to offer pupils choice on where they want to work, socialise or take time out. Large windows fill the building with natural light, while helping to connect departments and classrooms with outdoor spaces. Internal spaces have been decorated with warm colours and light woods to create comfortable spaces for learning and coming together. Outdoor sports facilities include a new 3G synthetic rugby and football pitch and a multi-use games area. A new grass recreation area that can be lined for football or other sports activities will be added following the demolition of the former Liberton High School building. The 1,200-space school forms the centrepiece of the new Liberton Community Campus, a multi-purpose facility to help meet the needs of young people, their families and the wider community. Its spaces have been designed to allow all generations to come together in a number of ways, including a community café, library, GP surgery and workspaces for Council partners. New sports facilities operated by Edinburgh Leisure will feature bookable amenities for the whole community, including a fitness suite and dance studio. Information on when the other community facilities within the building will be ready for use will be published soon. The new Community Campus has been built to Passivhaus standard, minimising energy consumption and reducing the reliance on active heating or cooling systems, ensuring sustainable and eco-friendly construction. In addition to the Passivhaus design, the new school contains other sustainable features supporting the Council to meet its sustainability commitments. This includes measures to improve the air quality and thermal performance of the building which are vital to achieving Passivhaus certification. The new school building has been designed in line with the guiding principles of the Scottish Government’s Learning Estate Strategy and is one of the projects in the second phase of the Scottish Government’s Learning Estate Investment Programme, alongside the project to redevelop Wester Hailes High School. Children, Education and Families Convener, Councillor James Dalgleish, said: The opening of the new Liberton High School marks a major milestone for pupils, staff and the wider community. This building has been designed to be futureproof with sustainability at its core, and I’m proud that it stands as one of Scotland’s first Passivhaus secondary schools. The school’s leadership team has played a crucial role in shaping a learning environment that puts the needs of young people first, while also meeting our commitments to a net‑zero future. This project is however about more than just a school. It’s the foundation of a community lifelong‑learning and sports hub that will bring together education, public services and local amenities in one accessible place, from a Community Library to an NHS GP Surgery. This reflects our ‘Living Well Locally’ strategy, ensuring local services are co‑located where people need them most. Our aim is simple: to put local people at the heart of this campus, giving everyone the opportunity to learn, participate and thrive. I’m delighted that this exceptional new building will help to bring more local people in the community together, and we’re looking forward to announcing more about the new community facilities soon. Stuart Danskin, Project Director at Balfour Beatty said: As Balfour Beatty’s first Passivhaus secondary school and the centrepiece of the new Liberton Community Campus, the successful completion of Liberton High School demonstrates our expertise in delivering innovative and sustainable infrastructure that creates lasting value for communities.

Conlon Construction and Cassidy + Ashton have completed the £19m refurbishment of the East Estate at Lancaster University Management School (LUMS), delivering a fully reconfigured 6,778 sqm, four-storey academic building within a live campus environment. The scheme comprised a full internal strip-out of the existing 1970s structure, including removal of partitions, finishes and all mechanical and electrical services, followed by a complete reconfiguration of the building to deliver modern teaching, research and collaboration spaces, designed by principal architect, Cassidy + Ashton. The completed facility provides new and upgraded seminar and teaching rooms, meeting spaces, breakout and informal study areas, and specialist facilities including a Bloomberg Suite, prayer rooms, café and staff lounge. A new glazed link corridor has also been delivered, connecting the East Estate to the University Spine and West Pavilion, requiring structural alterations and façade modifications. Acting as main contractor, Conlon delivered the works within a constrained live campus environment using a single-point logistics access route, with phased delivery across four floors and multiple concurrent workfaces. Fire-rated hoarding and controlled pedestrian routes were installed throughout to maintain safe segregation between construction areas and university operations. The project involved full replacement and integration of building services, including mechanical and electrical systems, ventilation distribution and electrical infrastructure, alongside connection into Lancaster University’s district heating network. Externally, the building was upgraded with replacement roof coverings, façade repairs, masonry works and new energy-efficient glazing. Internally, the building was fully refurbished with new partitions, acoustic treatments, flooring, ceilings, and doors, alongside installation of a new passenger lift and improved accessibility routes. The refurbishment has created a carbon saving of more than 80 per cent compared to an equivalent new build. This, combined with revised design principles that allow more effective uses of space, has led to an estimated saving of more than 4,700 tonnes of carbon expenditure, equivalent to the carbon produced by more than 400 homes in a year. The scheme was also delivered in line with Conlon Construction’s social value commitments, with a focus on apprenticeships and the use of local labour wherever possible. Guy Parker, managing director and chair of Conlon Construction, said: “It’s fantastic to deliver a project once again with our long-standing partners Cassidy + Ashton, who we have previously worked with on the recent completion of GVS Filter Technology UK’s HQ in Lancaster, as well as a number of education schemes across the region. “This is Conlon’s biggest education scheme to date, making it a special milestone for the business, and it’s particularly rewarding to see it deliver high-quality facilities that will directly support students and young people in our home of Lancashire.” Lawrence McBurney, director and architect at Cassidy + Ashton, said: “We are delighted to see the successful completion of the £19 million refurbishment of Lancaster University Management School, a project that reinforces the University’s position as one of the UK’s leading destinations for business and management education. “Working closely with Lancaster University, Conlon Construction and the wider project team, we have transformed the building into a contemporary, flexible and highly sustainable learning environment that reflects the School’s global reputation for excellence. The refurbished spaces will support world-class teaching, research and collaboration, while enhancing the experience of students, staff and visitors. “We are proud to have helped deliver a facility that matches the ambition, prestige and future vision of Lancaster University Management School.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
