Four Morrison Construction projects have made the shortlists across multiple categories at this year's Learning Places Scotland (LPS) Awards, with the company itself also in contention for Contractor of the Year.

The LPS Awards celebrate excellence and innovation across Scotland's education estate, recognising organisations and schemes that create high-quality environments for learners and local communities.

Earlston Primary School features in three categories: Early Learning & Childcare Award, Inspiring Learning Spaces, and Pupil / Student Experience.

The West Calder High School Extension is also shortlisted three times, for Inspiring Learning Spaces, Pupil / Student Experience, and Supporting Learner Pathways.

Hawkhill Primary School is recognised in the Inspiring Learning Spaces category, while Whitecraig Primary School is shortlisted for the Pupil / Student Experience award.

David Ewing, Managing Director of Morrison Construction Building Central, said: "To see four of our projects recognised across such a broad range of categories is a fantastic achievement and reflects the commitment of our teams and partners to delivering learning environments that make a real difference for pupils, staff and communities.

"These nominations are also a testament to the strong relationships we have built with our clients and project partners across Scotland. Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing these fantastic facilities to life, and we look forward to the awards later this year."
