The brand new £25M Ayr Academy has been successfully handed over on time and on budget to South Ayrshire Council. 

The new Ayr Campus will cater for 1,000 school students, with the capacity for a further 300, and will create a modern and inclusive facility where students can learn in a sustainable and well-designed environment. 

Construction works were undertaken by Kier Construction Ltd and the new school, previously situated on Fort Street, can now be found in the towns Craigie Estate. 

The project is a part of a £94M pipeline being delivered by the authority across South Ayrshire within the next 18 months with the aim of enhancing standards through targeted investment.
