Construction News Image
Dundee City Council is set to approve a tender to build two new city schools and community facilities.

The £16 million contract will be awarded to Willmott Dixon if the city development committee approves the tender next week.

Plans include building the new schools and a community project in Coldside.

The facility will replace Our Lady's RC and Rosebank Primary Schools and the Frances Wright Pre-School Centre. Further plans involve building four additional flexible classrooms, nursery facilities and a dedicated 500m2 dedicated area for community use.

Vehicles will gain access to the main school, community facility, pupil drop-off and service yard car park from Alexander Street, while the nursery school car park and pupil drop-off facility will be in Ann Street.

New social housing is currently being built on another part of the site, which was formerly home to the Alexander Street multis.

Bill Campbell, Depute Convener of Dundee City Council's City Development Committee, said: "With work completed and well underway on similar projects in other neighbourhoods across the city it is good to see progress being made on the Coldside scheme.

"This will bring two new single stream primary schools designed over two storeys, a separate nursery area and a dedicated facility for community use to Coldside that will provide services for people who will live in the adjacent new houses being built in this part of the city."
