The project, which is scheduled for accommodation completion in August 2009 and overall completion of grass pitches two years later, will be delivered in three phases – the first providing eight schools, the second four schools and the third five new schools and the refurbishment of Hamilton Grammar School which was extensively refurbished in 1996 and Stonelaw High School, which was built in 1998.

The vision is for the project to deliver safe and secure environments for teaching and learning, schools which are fully accessible to all users, “dual use” facilities and environments which promote multi-agency working in the interests of the schools and the community.
