School builder’s perfect bricks in Grammar’s wall
CAMPBELTOWN grammar school is being built for success as its construction company has won a national award.
Morrison Construction is celebrating a prestigious award from the Considerate Constructors Scheme, a non-profit, independent organisation which sets standards and aims to improve the image of the construction industry.
The grammar school builders picked up the accolade, at a ceremony in Edinburgh on March 24, at the National Site Awards which reward construction projects which show excellent consideration for neighbours, the workforce, the public and environment.
Ian Neil, Morrison Construction’s project manager, said: ‘We’re delighted to see our team’s hard work, professionalism and commitment to the local community recognised by these national awards.
‘Our teams across the region consistently ensure our construction sites are safe, clean, environmentally responsible and considerate to our neighbours, but this award demonstrates a standard far beyond minimum requirements.
‘The team at Campbeltown should be very proud of themselves.’
Work on the new school building is well on sched- ule, with the floors, stairs and atrium all complete, and work on the roof and drainage systems progressing well.
Construction of windows, curtain walling and masonry is also underway. Pupils and staff are set to move into the new premises in February next year, with the existing school building to be demolished to make way for a new 3G sports pitch and car park.
In a recent update assurances were made that work will be completed on schedule and that Campbeltown’s latest grammar school will open in early 2018.
