Neil McIntyre, project management lead for Phase 2 of Dumfries Learning Town at Dumfries & Galloway Council, said: “The new Dumfries High School will be recognised as a landmark community investment which will enhance the learning experience of our young people and will be also a beacon of community sports and leisure activity.”
Chief executive of hub South West Michael Ross said: “We are delighted to deliver this exciting new project for Dumfries and Galloway Council as its development partner and to continue our partnership with the authority.
“Following completion of the tender process that is currently under way, we expect to announce the appointment of the wider team in the coming months.
