Whitecraig Primary School finalist for design award

Whitecraig Primary School has been nominated for a prestigious design award.

The Scottish Design Awards celebrate Scotland’s most inspiring architecture, creativity and the talented people behind it. The judges consider the best projects across 34 categories to recognise and reward design excellence.

Whitecraig Primary School is a finalist in the ‘Education Building or Project’ category alongside four other projects. The building, which was designed by our in-house architect team, opened to pupils in January and draws on the village’s mining heritage with a modern twist through charcoal grey brick reminiscent of coal and industrial-inspired copper coloured cladding. Calm colours and textures within provide a soothing environment for learning while light-filled spaces and ample use of glass offers views throughout the school and outside.

The Scottish Design Awards take place on 24 June at the Double Tree Hotel in Glasgow.

Good luck to everyone involved in the project.
