New Whitehouse School gets underway

Jun 2010

Work has commenced on the new Whitehouse Primary School in Newtownabbey.

A sod cutting ceremony was held on Thursday 24 June 2010 to mark the beginning of the works at this site.  Bert McCulloch, Contracts Director, Keith Patrick, Project Director and Victor Hamilton, Project Manager were in attendance to represent the Company.

GRAHAM was recently awarded this £3.6m contract for the construction of a new build to replace the school which was destroyed by fire in July 2009.  The Project will comprise 14 classrooms, Assembly Hall, Dining Facilities and Nursery Unit along with extensive landscaping works.

The school is due to be complete by summer 2011.
