The new facility being built on the site of recently demolished tenements, on Colebrooke Street in the west end of the city, which were suffering from serious subsidence caused by mineworkings dating back to the late 18th Century.

The programme has an overall duration of 70 weeks to complete the project including final testing and commissioning of the building. When complete it will provide 37,000 sq/ft of accommodation spread across four floors and incorporate a 178-seat auditorium, a food technology department and 15 large science labs.

Dunne Construction director Patrick Reel said: “We were delighted to be selected as the preferred contractor to deliver this prestigious new building for Glasgow Academy which will play a major role in achieving their growing reputation for educational excellence. It will also enhance our own reputation within the educational sector following on from the successful delivery of a Nursery and Pre-school signature building for Edinburgh Academy.”
