ISG has been appointed to deliver the initial phase of George Watson\u2019s College\u2019s ambitious multi-million-pound campus masterplan<\/h2>\n

The \u00a34.8m contract will see ISG<\/a> deliver a new-build extension at the Edinburgh school, as well as carrying out refurbishments to the existing building over the next year.<\/p>\n

The work is expected to be completed ahead of the new academic year in 2019.<\/p>\n

The steel frame<\/a> extension will create a new reception, five classrooms, a music suite and a library with views of the Pentland Hills.<\/p>\n

The refurbishment will also see ISG remodel the existing interior of the Upper Primary building, providing modernised toilets and main thoroughfare.<\/p>\n

The new stone-faced extension designed by Page\\Park Architects<\/a> will be a gateway to the Primary School from Myreside Road.<\/p>\n

Featuring precast concrete floors, curtain walling and timber cladding, the new 11,500 sq ft extension has been designed to complement the existing Upper Primary building, providing a variety of interior \u201cbreakout\u201d spaces for innovative learning and teaching.<\/p>\n

Andy McLinden, managing director for ISG\u2019s North and Scotland business, said: \u201cGeorge Watson\u2019s College has an excellent reputation as one of Scotland\u2019s leading independent schools, and this project is the first phase of a programme of upgrades and extension works, which will meet the increasing demand for pupil places.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur international education sector credentials and expertise working in live heritage settings will prove essential in the delivery of this complex project.\u201d<\/p>\n

The building project forms part of the school\u2019s campus masterplan, which was developed in conjunction with its pupils, teachers and parents in a drive to visualise the future of the 50-acre campus.<\/p>\n

The masterplan will see the school upgrade its science, art, drama, sport, and food technology provisions in later phases.<\/p>\n
