Construction of the £16m, Scott Brownrigg-designed Milltimber Primary School in Aberdeen has completed. Designed for Aberdeen City Council, the new state-of-the-art facility offers increased capacity for 434 pupils and an additional 60 Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) places, ensuring that pupils in the growing catchment area can continue to attend their local primary school with other children from their community.
Following the success of our design for Stoneywood Primary School, the school design is conceived around strong sustainable and placemaking principles – a cross-laminated timber structure chosen for its attractive aesthetic, durability, and sustainable credentials. Four teaching pavilions are arranged to provide classrooms with safe direct access to the outdoors, while the reception and assembly hall form a formal frontage to the public-facing side of the school. Enhanced outdoor play spaces and PE facilities promote health, fitness and wellbeing, and improved opportunities for outdoor curricular learning and social interaction.
