Construction News Image
BAM Construction has been appointed to deliver the £46 million full-rebuild of Peebles High School in Peebleshire.

The firm was selected by the Scottish Borders Council.

The state-of-the-art two-storey campus in Peebles will replace the previous school that was badly damaged in a fire in 2019.

With an emphasis on sustainability, the new facility has been designed by Glasgow-based architects Stallan Brand.

BAM will also be responsible for full external landscaping, internal paths, service access and supplementary car parking, the extension of the school’s existing sports block and provision of new external sports facilities including a 3G all-weather sports pitch.

Scottish Borders Council's development partner, Hub South East, will oversee the project through the various development phases.

Planning applications are due to be submitted next year before a period of further design development for the project. Construction work on the new campus is expected to commence in late 2022.

Scottish Borders Council has placed a major focus on investing in the futures of young people in recent years and a Learning Estate Programme has been created to prioritise the accessibility of high-quality education facilities across the Borders. The full-rebuild of Peebles High School was identified as a priority project as part of the Council's effort to modernise school infrastructure in the region.
