Construction News Image
An open day will be held next month to showcase a new £31 million school in Dundee, it has been announced.

The new Harris Academy was developed by hub East Central Scotland in partnership with the city council, Scottish Futures Trust and contractors Robertson Tayside.

Work on the development began in 2014 following the demolition of the previous 1931 building. Features include a swimming pool, recording studio, a games hall with four badminton courts and a science hub.

In addition, original features such as the clock tower and the stone entrance portico have been retained and reused prominently in the new building.

The open day will give pupils and the wider public a chance to see inside the new building. The exhibition will be held between 10am – 2pm on Saturday, 01 October.

Headteacher Barry Millar said: "We have been overwhelmed by the interest from people in the new school and an open day is a good way to allow as many of them as possible to have a look around. 

"We are very proud of the new building and the links it retains to the original Perth Road school."

Cllr Stewart Hunter added: "This stunning new school building is designed to meet the educational challenges of the future and be an inspirational learning centre for our young people. 

"I would encourage people to come along on the open day to see the building for themselves."
