THE leader of Dundee City Council has visited the site of the Drumgeith Community Campus and Greenfield Academy – currently being built by Robertson Construction Tayside – to see first-hand the progress being made at the £100 million development.
Greenfield Academy will replace the current Braeview Academy and Craigie High School. Set to open in August 2025, Drumgeith Community Campus will serve as a central hub for the north and east of the city for both pupils and the community to use.
The facility will provide specialist pupil support provision, citywide music and performing arts, as well as community, library, leisure, and sports facilities. Facilities at the campus will support partnership working with Dundee & Angus College to provide Senior Phase Education curricular experiences for young people with complex additional support needs.
Councillor Mark Flynn said, “This is a really exciting time for the whole community, and I am pleased to see progress on such an important investment for the future of our city. It will host superb facilities for young people and the wider community that will help them to develop skills to take advantage of new opportunities in the years ahead.”
Elliot Robertson, CEO at Robertson Group, commented, “As we near completion of the state-of the-art campus and academy, it’s been fantastic to show how we have realised Dundee City Council’s ambitious vision, which will be at the heart of the community for generations to come. We have been partner of choice with the council for several years now and this project represents a shared vision of creating modern, sustainable, high quality buildings that make a difference to the people who use them, as well as the local economy through the construction process and beyond.”
Drumgeith Community Campus is being delivered through Procurement Hub Major Projects 2 Framework.
