Scottish Borders High Schools

Realising the Scottish Borders Council’s “School of the Future” model, we designed and constructed three state-of-the-art high schools (Earlston, Berwickshire and Eyemouth) in the picturesque Scottish Borders. GRAHAM and Bilfinger Berger BOT Limited formed the consortium, Scottish Borders Education Partnership Limited, to deliver the design, build, finance, and maintenance of the trio of major educational campuses, which provide much-needed shared educational and community space. Finance was provided by Prudential. With a gross internal area of 38,775m2, flexible functionality is at the core of each campus and facilitates multi-use for learning, sport, performing arts, workplace training and conferences.

Completed simultaneously on time and on budget, the project has delivered a stimulating and inclusive learning environment through the construction of state-of-the-art facilities including three individually designed high schools of two and three-storeys, community accommodation, sports and leisure areas, and research space – Earlston Campus (£28.4m/15,076m2), Berwickshire Campus (£24m/12,873 m2), and Eyemouth Campus (£21.1m/10,803m2).
