Construction News Image
Robertson Construction has started work to develop a new £16 million replacement Milltimber School in Aberdeen.

The new building, within the Oldfold Farm development, will replace the existing school at Monearn Gardens, and is expected to take 70 weeks to complete.

The single storey-building will include 14 classrooms and activity area as well as an all-weather 3G synthetic sports pitch.

The new school will offer an increased capacity of 434 pupils compared with the current school’s capacity of 270 and will be much better equipped to accommodate the predicted increase in school rolls as well as offering increased Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) capacity.

Kevin Dickson, Regional Managing Director, Robertson Construction Tayside, said: "Milltimber Primary School will be a welcome addition to Aberdeen City Council's education estate.

"Robertson is proud to be delivering Milltimber and of our on-going relationship with the City Council. We have a wealth of experience within the education sector which complements the admirable commitment that is being shown by Aberdeen City to ensure the best education facilities for future generations."

Aberdeen City Council's capital programme should see four new schools – in Milltimber, Countesswells, Torry and Tillydrone delivered by summer 2022 with all four contributing to the city’s ELC expansion.
