Ogilvie Construction has been awarded the contract for the construction of a new £17 million school in Aberdeen for children with additional support arising from severe and complex needs.

The new school, which will be located on Howes Road, will provide education and support for up to 150 full-time children from 3 to 18 years of age with severe and complex educational and medical needs, and will replace Woodlands School and Hazelwood School. A pre-school additional support service, currently provided in Seaton School, will also be relocated to the new campus.

The school will be delivered by hub North Scotland Limited after it was appointed as development partner by Aberdeen City Council.

West Burn Lane, designed by Sutherland Hussey Harris and built by Ogilvie Construction, has clinched the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland Andrew Doolan award for 2015.

The winners received a cheque for £25,000 at the prize giving event at the National Museum of Scotland.

Fiona Hyslop, culture secretary, said: "Once again, both the worthy winner and the strength of this year’s shortlist for the RIAS Andrew Doolan Award have shown that the quality of Scotland’s new architecture stands shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world.

Ogilvie Construction has started work on a £7.5 million project to build a new primary school in Armadale, West Lothian.

The contract was awarded by West Lothian Council and the new facility will include eight new classrooms and two general-purpose rooms as well as a gym and dining room and nursery provision for 60 pupils.

The project will also include the construction of a tarmac multi user games area, car parking and a grass pitch.
