Ashleigh (Scotland) To Deliver East Ayrshire Primary School

Contractor Ashleigh (Scotland) has started building a new primary school in East Ayrshire.

The new Muirkirk Primary School is due to be completed next summer.

The single-storey development will have an 'A' energy efficiency rating and will feature an early childhood centre and community facilities, complete with a community garden and fun play areas.


Council Leader Douglas Reid said: "I'm very pleased with the early progress on this new building, which will provide a state of the art learning environment for our children and pupils in Muirkirk and purpose built facilities for the community to use.

"The planning that goes into a project like this is immense and very detailed, so that we can ensure that the building will provide the very best accommodation for everyone who will use it. It's an exciting time for the children and young people, staff and the community and I know they all can't wait to get into their new building next summer."
