Angus Council Leader, Councillor George Meechan, along with senior officers, recently visited the new Monifieth Learning Campus site to observe the "impressive progress" on the £66.5 million project. The campus is being delivered by Robertson Construction Tayside and is nearing completion.
Located next to the current Monifieth High School, the Monifieth Learning Campus has been designed as a modern, inclusive facility tailored to the needs of children and young people. It will offer a wide array of high-quality learning environments, including a 25-metre swimming pool, dedicated theatre and performance spaces, flexible classrooms, early learning and childcare facilities, and extensive sports amenities.
The Monifieth Learning Campus is part of Phase Two of the national Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP). Capital funding for the project is provided by Angus Council, with revenue support from the Scottish Government upon completion.
Elliot Robertson, Chief Executive Officer, Robertson Group, expressed satisfaction with the project's advancement: "As we near completion, on time and on budget, it was a pleasure to welcome Angus Council to see first-hand the progress being made. We have been creating high-quality, sustainable and transformational spaces with the Council for over a decade, and Monifieth Learning Campus is a prime example. With a growing portfolio of Passivhaus projects across the region, it's fantastic to bring that expertise to such a significant development with a trusted and forward-thinking partner."
Councillor George Meechan, Angus Council's Leader, shared his enthusiasm: "I am thrilled to see the impressive progress being made on the new Monifieth Learning Campus. This is an invaluable investment in the future – one that will provide outstanding, modern facilities for our young people while also delivering long-term environmental benefits through its sustainable, energy-efficient design. It's inspiring to see the vision taking shape, and I look forward to the positive impact it will have for generations to come."
Construction commenced in May 2023 and remains on schedule to open to young people in August 2025, while also adhering to the budget. The campus is being built by Robertson Construction Tayside through Procurement Hub's Major Projects Framework 2.
