A £225 million project to design, build, finance and operate Glasgow’s entire secondary school estate under a Public Private Partnership with Glasgow City Council.

A consortium called 3ED now comprising HBoS, SMIF and John Laing undertook the project which comprises 29 secondary schools and one primary school in the city and caters for 32,500 pupils. The project which is now managed by John Laing includes 11 new build secondary schools; eight refurbished secondary schools with new build extensions; nine refurbished secondary schools and one new build primary school. There are also centres of excellence in sport and dance and learning centres for blind and deaf children.
