We have recently been appointed by hub South West Scotland as the preferred bidder to deliver the new St Kevin’s Primary School and community facilities, on behalf of North Lanarkshire Council.
The modern learning, teaching and community campus will be situated close to its existing location in Bargeddie. The introduction of an additional new hub will allow for a more spacious community facility to successfully meet the needs of North Lanarkshire’s growing population, by increasing its capacity to 242 pupils when complete.
The new campus will offer a modernised hub incorporating generous classrooms and outdoor learning facilities alongside a large gym hall and impressive multi-use games area. Helping to bring a fresh outlook, pupils are involved in the design process and will take part in workshops to offer their creative visions as inspiration for the new campus.
The local community will benefit throughout the build as eight new construction roles will be created, including two modern apprenticeships, approximately 30 work placements and over 100 training opportunities provided.
Works are due to begin on the site in summer 2023, with an expected completion date of mid-2024.
“To date we have successfully delivered over £116 million of educational projects for North Lanarkshire Council. As delivery partner we are helping drive North Lanarkshire’s school estate strategy and we have a further three live projects on site worth over £58 million. As an industry collective we are focused on working together to create first class built environments which bring positive impacts for the wider community and support the local economy through a wide range of initiatives.
“Having already delivered a large number of projects with Kier, it is great to be working with them again on this project. Not only do they deliver work which is of a very high standard, they share our commitment to growing and enhancing local communities around South West Scotland.”Michael Ross, Chief Executive of hub South West Scotland
