Airdrie Schools expansion set to boost capacity.
LDC has successfully completed the extension of the All Saints & Rochsolloch Primary Schools in Airdrie. The Design & Build project with hub South West, on behalf of North Lanarkshire Council, involved the addition of extension to the primary school campus.
Appointed to the project in July 2020, LDC managed the entire project from inception to design conclusion with their Design Team, JM Architects and Blyth & Blyth (Structural & M&E). Working collaboratively, the team’s commitment and professionalism ensured the project was handed over on time with zero defects in December 2020.
Throughout the duration of the project the work was carried out in a live environment so required carefully managed and coordinated logistics. Additionally the use of Snag-master technology for quality assurance greatly assisted with close-out of defects on a trade by trade basis.
Commenting on the completion, Ryan Broadley, Managing Director, Linear Design & Construct, said, “We are delighted to hand over the project with zero defects on time and also to see another vital education project completed to such a high standard. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with the teams at hub South West and North Lanarkshire Council to bring this to fruition and look forward to working together again on future projects”
Now complete, the extension has provided two extra classrooms to All Saints, whilst an internal courtyard space was reconfigured at adjoining Rochsolloch to create a further room. The new space will increase Rochsolloch’s permanent capacity to 313 pupils from its current 255, while All Saints’ pupil roll capacity will increase by 66 places to a potential 305.
In March 2020, the Linear Design & Construct team were appointed to deliver the extension of the All Saints & Rochsolloch Primary Schools in Airdrie. The Design & Build project with hub South West, on behalf of North Lanarkshire Council, involved the addition of extension to the primary school campus.
“Having worked with LDC on previous hub South West educational projects, we are pleased to embark again upon an interesting development on behalf of North Lanarkshire Council with LDC as main contractor. hub South West has collaborated frequently with North Lanarkshire Council on Education and Early Years developments and we look forward to building on this portfolio with the extensions of All Saints and Rochsolloch Primary Schools.”
