Mull School Campus Project Advances

The Isle of Mull is poised for a significant construction project as the local council moves forward with plans for a new school campus. Following a series of public consultations, a clear picture of the community's needs and preferences has emerged.

Key considerations identified in the feedback include:

• Location: A split-site model with primary and early learning facilities in Tobermory and a centralised high school is a popular choice.

• Accessibility: Ensuring easy access to the campus for students and staff, including safe walking and cycling routes.


• Facilities: Providing modern and well-equipped facilities for learning and extracurricular activities.

The council is currently evaluating potential sites for the new campus, taking into account these factors and the constraints of available funding. A final decision on the preferred site is expected by the end of December.

Once a site is selected, the construction phase will commence, offering opportunities for local contractors and suppliers to participate in the project. The project is expected to stimulate economic activity on the island and create jobs.

As the project progresses, more details will emerge regarding the specific construction requirements, timelines, and tendering processes. Local businesses and contractors are encouraged to stay informed and monitor for updates.
