A groundbreaking ceremony has taken place at Stewarton Academy to mark the start of work on the school’s new £11.8 million extension.
Heron Bros is leading the work on behalf of East Ayrshire Council, with work expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
The extension will significantly increase the overall footprint of the school through the creation of new teaching spaces, a large assembly/games hall, and new PE changing facilities. Improvement works to the existing building will follow, once the extension is completed.
Councillor Elaine Cowan, cabinet spokesperson for lifelong learning, education, and skills and culture, said, “I am delighted that work is now underway on the extension at Stewarton Academy and that the council continues to invest in creating quality, modern spaces for our young people to learn.”
