The building has been designed by Falkirk Council and ADP Architecture with structural engineering work to be carried out by SBA Engineers and Hawthorne Boyle.

A Hadden Group spokesman said the layout had been designed to promote “free flow” and included features such as an interactive wall, a mezzanine level, quiet areas and external spaces for outdoor activities.

Further details on the project will be discussed at Falkirk Council’s education executive meeting on January 23.
