Building the New St John’s School

 

February 2018: The scaffolding begins to wrap round the building, ready for bricklaying and windows.

The new school is being built by Graham Construction who have projects across the United Kingdom.  The project is managed onsite by Andrew Thomson.

The current thinking is that the new building will be complete by August 2018.  It is to be two storeys high running close along Duddingston Road as did the old high school.

At a public community liaison meeting in early June Graham Construction gave some idea of their expectation of key dates. Clearly these will be subject to change depending on many factors.
