hub North Scotland has announced plans to commence construction of the new £17m Countesswells Primary School for Aberdeen City Council next week.

The company has appointed Morrison Construction as main contractor and Halliday Fraser Munro as architects for the project.

To be located on the western outskirts of Aberdeen, Scotland, the new school will have room for up to 434 students and space for around 60 early learning and nursery children.

It will also include an outdoor classroom, two playgrounds as well as an all-weather pitch.

Groundworks on the new school site is planned to commence on 11 October, with completion of the project planned in 2023.

Morrison Construction North East project director Colin Milne said: “We are delighted to be in a position to start work on this much-needed school for local children.

On behalf of the Aberdeen City Council, hub North Scotland is also developing a new primary school and community hub in Torry.

Last month, the company handed over the Badenoch and Strathspey Community Hospital in the Cairngorms National Park in Aviemore, Scotland.

The new hospital features 12-consulting treatment rooms, 24-ensuite in-patient bedrooms, and a minor injuries unit with dental and x-ray facilities.

It will also provide physiotherapy and occupational therapy services, chemotherapy and a midwife service.

The Badenoch and Strathspey Community Hospital will also provide accommodation for the Aviemore GP practice, as well as social care and community health teams.
