Construction of the £66.5m Monifieth Learning Campus remains on schedule and on budget.
And it means Monifieth High pupils are counting down to moving into the state-of-the-art building in 2025.
Work began in June 2023 and is scheduled for completion in July 2025, ready for the new school session starting in August.
The demolition of the existing high school building and development of external spaces is expected to be complete by summer 2026.
Angus Council has funded the capital investment for the project, which is part of phase two of the national Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP).
The learning campus is being built beside the existing Monifieth High School.
The council will benefit from Scottish Government revenue funding once the project is complete.
Designed to meet Passivhaus requirements, the energy efficient campus will also be available for community use through education lets.
Key features of the campus include:
- Vocational spaces including a barista bar; nail bar; constructions skills; agricultural area and e-sports space.
- Sports facilities including games hall, gymnasium, dance studio and 25m swimming pool
- Theatre space
- Early learning and childcare facilities
- Synthetic and grass pitch provision externally.
The project was awarded to Robertson Construction Tayside by Angus Council through the Procurement Hub Major Projects Framework 2 (MPF2).
