BAM Construction has broken ground on a new £19.95m Community Hub and Family Learning Centre in North Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Located in Wishaw in North Lanarkshire, the new purpose-built campus will provide shared facilities for Newmains and St Brigid’s primary schools and a nursery.

It will have capacity to accommodate approximately 484 primary school pupils.
The project aims to create denominational and non-denominational school environments for both primary and early years education.
The new Community Hub and Family Learning Centre is the first of three North Lanarkshire Council (NLC) education projects, with a cumulative value of £60m.
It is BAM Construction’s first contract with Hub South West, a public-private partnership of local authorities and contractors, having joined its list of suppliers last year.

Recently, BAM was awarded a £95m contract by commercial property firm W.RE for the redevelopment of a 230,000ft2 St Pancras Campus in Camden, London.
The scope of work under the contract involved construction of offices, retail and two separate residential buildings transforming an underutilised industrial estate on a 1.2 acre self-contained ‘island’ block near St Pancras Hospital.
