The £48.5 million Wick Community Campus has been nominated for an industry accolade at the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) Awards for Planning Excellence 2018.

The facility, which was built by Morrison Construction, will compete in the category for Excellence in Planning for a Successful Economy against eight other finalists from across the UK.

Designed by Ryder Architecture, the Campus opened in April 2017 to replace Wick High School, South Primary and Pultneytown Academy Primary School while providing a new library and swimming pool for pupils, teachers and the wider community.
