Balfour Beatty has completed construction works on the development and Aberdeen City Council will now begin fit-out works to ensure the school is ready ahead of the new academic year.
As part of the works, Balfour Beatty was charged with the design and construction of a new teaching and sports facility, 3G sports pitch and associated car parking facilities.
Once finished, over 1,300 pupils and teachers from Torry and Kincorth Secondary Schools will join together to form the new school.

Iain Lumsden, Managing Director of Balfour Beatty's North Scotland Delivery Unit, said: "We are delighted to hand Lochside Academy over to hub North Scotland, providing students, teachers and the local community with a first class educational facility that will significantly enhance the learning experience of students.
"This marks the second school that Balfour Beatty has successfully handed over to hub North Scotland on time and to budget since we were appointed as the main 'tier 1' contractor in 2016."
hub North Scotland Chief Executive, Michael Padzinski said: "This is a fantastic new school which provides a modern environment for teaching and learning, along with great facilities for the broader community.
"The project has been developed and delivered through a collaborative approach by Aberdeen City Council and our construction delivery partner, Balfour Beatty."
