Morrison Construction has successfully completed the new £85.5m Paisley Grammar School Community Campus, with the state-of-the-art facility set to welcome pupils for the first time later this month.
Delivered for Renfrewshire Council, the new campus has been designed to accommodate up to 1,350 pupils and provides modern facilities for learning, sport, music and performance.
The school includes specialist science and STEM facilities, dedicated drama and performance spaces, enhanced sports facilities including full-size 3G and grass pitches, and flexible teaching environments designed to support learning, wellbeing and inclusion. The campus will also become home to Renfrewshire's Music School, with purpose-built facilities for young musicians from across the area.
Built to internationally recognised Passivhaus standards, the campus is one of Scotland's most energy-efficient school buildings, helping to significantly reduce energy use and carbon emissions while providing a comfortable learning environment throughout the year.
Councillor Emma Rodden, Convener of Renfrewshire Council's Education and Children's Services Policy Board, said: "This is a landmark moment, not only for Paisley Grammar School but for education across Renfrewshire.
"Paisley Grammar has helped shape the lives of generations of young people. This outstanding new campus allows that proud history to continue in a building designed for the future.
"From the modern teaching spaces to the sports facilities, science laboratories and performance areas, every part of the campus has been created to give our young people the very best environment in which to learn, grow and succeed."
David Ewing, Managing Director of Morrison Construction Building Central, said: "We are incredibly proud to have delivered this outstanding new campus in partnership with Renfrewshire Council.
"Paisley Grammar School Community Campus is a fantastic example of what can be achieved through collaboration, creating a modern, sustainable learning environment that will inspire pupils, support staff and serve the wider community for generations to come. Congratulations to everyone involved, and we wish pupils and teachers every success as they begin this exciting new chapter."
The new campus will welcome pupils for the first time on 20 August, marking the culmination of years of planning, design and construction.
