Dalbeattie Learning Campus has taken a major step forward with contracts being signed and formal financial close achieved on the project, meaning construction work can start on the £26.5 million facility next month. 

hub South West are delivering this exciting project on behalf of Dumfries & Galloway Council, in partnership with our Tier-1 Contractor, Graham Construction. 

Council Leader Ronnie Nicholson said;

"Providing the best start in life for all our children is a priority for our Council and Dalbeattie Learning Campus is key to this. Our new school campus will transform learning and teaching for pupils and staff with a nursery playroom, primary and secondary classrooms, flexible teaching spaces, shared dining and assembly space, a primary hall, specialist teaching areas, sport and fitness facilities, and innovatively designed external spaces for learning and play. I’m delighted that we’ve now signed the contracts. Our Council can now deliver for the young people of Dalbeattie a first class learning environment, fit for the 21st century. ” 

The project will create a major new building to the periphery of Dalbeattie town, providing an "All Through" learning campus, comprising Nursery, Primary and Secondary education, with inclusive pupil support within an innovative, landscaped setting.

“The hub programme is an innovative approach to develop and deliver best-value community facilities which provides public bodies with a quick, efficient and value for money way of getting their projects into construction and helps secure and sustain local employment. I very much look forward to seeing construction start on the Dalbeattie Learning Campus shortly and to seeing pupils being taught in modern, first-class facilities.”

The new Dalbeattie Learning facility is scheduled to open in Autumn 2017.
