Construction of Inverurie Community Campus, designed Halliday Fraser Munro, began in April 2018. The first phase of the project has seen completion of the main campus building, which can house 1,600-pupils and extensive community facilities.

Preparations are now underway for the transition of staff, pupils and services from the existing Inverurie Academy, St Andrews School, swimming pool and community centre.

Phase 2, which will see the demolition of the existing buildings, will commence once the pupil transitions have taken place. The final phase will involve external works, including landscaping and creating all-weather sports pitches.

CEO of Robertson Group, Elliott Robertson, added: "As one of the largest school construction projects in Scotland, this £55m project will provide modern education, sports and community facilities for the area and is another milestone for Robertson in our delivery of contemporary, fit-for-purpose school projects."
