Graham Construction recently handed over the completed Longstone Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD) School in Scotland.
Works at Longstone consisted of a special needs school building - part single and part two-storey, a separate gym building and adjoining all-weather astro pitch.
The school and gym buildings are of a highly contemporary design, with both being erected using a combination of traditional steel frame and timber kit techniques. Trespa rain screen cladding and western red cedarwood cladding were used extensively. The internal features of both of the buildings include soft play and sensory rooms make them ideal learning spaces for kids with mild learning disabilities.
The total value of this job was £6.9m, with a construction period of 18 months.
