Morrison Construction have welcomed Minister for Children, Young People and Keeping the Promise, Natalie Don MSP, to a turf-cutting ceremony to mark the launch of a new primary school development in East Calder.

The £18.3m school is funded through the Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP), as part of a scheme which aims to invest in education facilities across the region. Plans for this new primary school include the construction of a new state-of-the-art, triangular shaped school building, which aims to deliver optimum energy performance, as well as educational connectivity throughout the new learning spaces for the future students.

As a team, we have a strong track record in delivering high-quality educational facilities for the students of the region and we all believe that this new school at East Calder will only add to that."
