Construction News Image
The £40 million Garnock Community Campus construction project is "on target", according to North Ayeshire Council.

The new school is currently under construction at Beith Road, Kilbirnie, and is on course to be completed at the end of 2016.

The facility will accommodate pupils from Glengarnock Primary School and Garnock Academy.

Garnock Community Campus head teacher Alan Dick said: "The progress is outstanding. Every time I come to the site, they have progressed a little bit more and it’s really starting to take shape.

"We are on the final push now and talking to the construction company, Kier Construction, they are really pleased with the progress.

"There is a real excitement about the school. A few members of staff and pupils have been up but the closer we get to the handover, the more staff and pupils will get to the visit the site.

"It will really shape the future of the Garnock community over the coming years."

The school, community and leisure campus will serve the Garnock Valley’s three main towns - Kilbirnie, Beith and Dalry - and bring together pupils who currently attend Garnock Academy, Glengarnock Primary School and Glengarnock Early Years Centre.

As well as providing state-of-the-art educational facilities for pupils, the campus will include a high quality six-lane swimming pool leisure facility, operated by partners KA Leisure, to replace Garnock Pool and a synthetic pitch suitable for rugby and football. The campus also features a number of sports halls.

The building works - being carried out by Kier Construction - are progressing well and are on schedule for completion and handover in December before the school reopens in the new year.
