McLaughlin & Harvey has finished refurbishing Milngavie Primary School, allowing the historic sandstone building to reopen this week in time for the new academic year after a year-long programme of major structural works.

The façade's sandstone has been meticulously cleaned, returning it to its original appearance, and modern windows have been installed throughout. New roofing and refreshed internal decoration are expected to enhance the building's fabric, comfort and brightness for pupils and staff.

The scheme was delivered through the SCAPE Scotland framework on behalf of East Dunbartonshire Council.

Neil Kemp, Operations Director, McLaughlin & Harvey, said: "It has been a pleasure to work on another refurbishment project with East Dunbartonshire Council and SCAPE Scotland. Preserving the school's character during refurbishment works is challenging, but one we have enjoyed and succeeded in doing within the tight timescale."

Gordan Low, Council Leader, East Dunbartonshire Council, said: "It's great to see the results of the work that has been done to Milngavie Primary and to see how excited everyone is to be coming back after a year away.

"It is a very attractive building which has been significantly improved by the investment that has been made over the last year to replace the roofs and windows, clean up the exterior and redecorate inside."
