Morgan Sindall has been selected to design the new Ardrossan Community Campus.

The contractor was appointed by North Ayrshire Council.

The site is currently undergoing extensive remediation and construction of the new campus will not begin until this is completed next year.

Ardrossan Community Campus will be a very energy-efficient building and will be designed to meet the Passivhaus Classic standards.

Passivhaus adopts a whole-building approach with clear measured targets, focussing on high-quality construction that gives a range of proven approaches to deliver net-zero ready buildings with an emphasis on user health and wellbeing.


Morgan Sindall are experienced in the delivery of Passivhaus projects and have recently completed Maybole Campus for South Ayrshire Council.

Councillor Tony Gurney, Cabinet Member for Green Environment and Economy, said: "We are very much looking forward to working with Morgan Sindall to take this project to fruition.

"Projects of this scale take many partners with expertise in different areas, and we are delighted to be now working with another.

"We look forward to providing more details as matters progress over the coming weeks and months."

Morgan Sindall Construction's Managing Director for Scotland, Stuart Parker, said: "The Ardrossan Community Campus will deliver first-class learning facilities built to Passivhaus standards, reflecting our two-fold objective of providing high-quality educational spaces that are also sustainable and energy efficient for future generations.

"It's a privilege to work with North Ayrshire Council who share our vision of creating spaces that not only benefit students but the local community. We will be delivering tangible outcomes for Ardrossan that go beyond the campus by working with the local supply chain and creating long-lasting initiatives for the area. We can't wait to get started on the project."
