BAM Construction has commenced work on the extension of Chryston High School in North Lanarkshire.
Hub South West will deliver the project on behalf of North Lanarkshire Council, with the wider project team including BDP Architects, Blyth & Blyth, and Hulley & Kirkwood.
The project will increase the school’s capacity by 500 pupils to meet the needs of new housing developments in the area, with it including new classrooms, outdoor learning spaces, sports facilities, and an early years centre.
Jim Ward, regional director at BAM Construction, said, “This project is the result of a strong partnership between Hub South West and North Lanarkshire Council. We’re proud to be building a modern, inclusive learning space that will help young people thrive.”
Shaun Sands, programme director at Hub South West, added, “This extension will improve the already excellent facilities at Chryston High. It’s a great example of working together to meet local needs with smart, sustainable solutions.”
Councillor Michael McBride, North Lanarkshire Council convener of education, children, and families, said, “This is a significant investment in our young people and the wider community.
“The expanded school will meet the needs of a growing population and offer excellent new facilities for pupils and residents. We’re committed to creating top-quality spaces for our communities now and in the future.”
