Work is continuing on a new £4.95 million Community Centre and Early Learning & Childcare facility in Auchinairn.

The development on Beech Road is being built by Robertson Central West and completion is on schedule for spring 2018.

Designed by architects Holmes Miller, the building will house a range of facilities and services for local people once finished, including early learning & childcare, a community hall, cafe, meeting rooms, and a play area.


The project is being delivered via the Scape National Major Works framework.

East Dunbartonshire Council Leader Gordan Low said: "I was pleased to see how the building is coming on as its much needed facilities will give local people easy access to a number of valuable services and activities.

"The centre part of the council's commitment to the Auchinairn Place Initiative – will be a new focal point for community life. It is an investment which aims to reduce inequality and give the people and groups of Auchinairn a facility from which to operate and grow."

Mark Robinson, Scape Group Chief Executive, added: "This is a fantastic project. The new building will create state-of-the-art facilities which will serve as a real hub for the residents of Bishopbriggs and Auchinairn in particular."
