A project milestone has been reached on a new £3.7 million special needs facility in South Ayrshire.

Contractor CBC has completed work on the timber frame exterior of the new Invergarven School and the scheme is on scheduled to open in August.

The new facility will replace the current building on Henrietta Street, which is being delivered in the grounds of Girvan Academy. Features will include spaces for learning and teaching including a sensory room, life skills kitchen, multi-use hall, hydrotherapy pool and external areas that support outdoor learning.

Cllr Peter Henderson said: "With the timber frame shell now in place the new school's reached its first major milestone, with the contractor now concentrating on making the building wind and watertight.

"There's still a lot of work to do before the school opens later this year but children, young people and families are already looking forward to using a modern building that will enjoy close ties with neighbouring Girvan Academy."
