Morrison Delivers £800k Extension At Highlands School

A new extension has been delivered at Invergarry Primary School in the Highlands.

Morrison Construction completed work on the £800,000 scheme, which saw two classrooms with toilets and a cloakroom area linked to the former school house. This house, which has lay vacant for some time, has been converted to form an entrance and reception area, office/meeting room and a fully accessible pupil toilet/changing facility.

Pupils and staff have now moved into the new development.

Head Teacher, Kim Bentley said: "We were delighted to welcome families and friends from our local community to help celebrate the opening of our new extension which has made a huge difference to pupils and staff."

The extension was delivered in partnership with The Highland Council's Property Team in the Development and Infrastructure Service, with funding support from the Council's Capital Programme.
