Ogilvie Construction is continuing with work on a new £7.5 million primary school in West Lothian.

The new Southdale Primary School is being built in Armadale and is due to be completed in August.

External superstructure brickwork has already been completed at the site, with roof works, fascia and flashings progressing well.

Mechanical and electrical works are well underway, while work on sports pitches is continuing with external works and the formation of footpaths, kerbing and blocking the carpark bays ongoing.

The first phase of the project will include classrooms, GP rooms, nursery facilities, a gym, dining and additional accommodation.

In addition, solar panels will be installed on the school to save energy and increase insulation.

Councillor Lawrence Fitzpatrick said: "The building has been designed to ensure the school can continue to grow to suit local housing developments, allowing the school to extend in pairs of classrooms.

"We have no doubt that the school will provide many benefits to the community. The school is making excellent progress and I am looking forward to seeing the end result."
