Tender awarded to build Port Glasgow shared campus...

The contract to build Port Glasgow’s £44 million shared campus has been awarded to GRAHAM Construction.

The new campus will be home to Port Glasgow and St Stephen’s High Schools and a new Additional Support Needs (ASN) School to replace Glenburn and Lilybank Schools.

This is such an exciting project for Port Glasgow and indeed the whole of Inverclyde. When the campus and the new St Columba’s High School in Gourock are completed in 2013 our secondary school estate will be second to none. We will also have an ASN School with facilities to match the very best.

From the outset of this Administration we said our children are the key to Inverclyde’s future and by providing them with the best facilities possible in which to learn we can give them that all-important springboard towards a better future. We are also demonstrating once again that meeting the needs of our most vulnerable children is a top priority for the Council.
