Kingspan has been appointed to design the light steel frame for a new grammar school development in Scotland. Working in conjunction with Morrison Construction and Ryder Architecture, the Paisley Grammar School development is expected to cost around £85.5 million and will be built to Passivhaus standards.
The school structure will be put together using 6,700 sqm of Kingspan's K Roc Karrier light steel frame system, with a completion date of 2026. The development itself will replace the existing school and will include a 300-seat theatre, outdoor facilities such as 3G all-weather and grass sports pitches, outdoor learning and social spaces, as well as learning plazas with a mix of open spaces for group work and traditional classrooms.
Chris Malcolm, Partner at Ryder, commented: "We are delighted that collaboration and engagement with the project team and stakeholders has continued through to construction.
"The design clearly expresses the collective educational vision for the new Paisley Grammar School Community Campus, and the new learning spaces that it will create are going to be sustainable, exciting and inspirational for its users."
Offsite construction experts Morrison Construction has been appointed to oversee the build itself, with David Ewing, Managing Director, saying: "We are delighted to have secured this fantastic project with our partners at Renfrewshire Council. We have a strong track record in creating high-quality educational facilities at scale across Scotland and look forward to delivering for the students and staff at Paisley."
