Photographs from Sites
Photographs of the construction progress at each of the active sites are available from the links to the right of this page. The current site development is very rapid and even as these images are posted the sites may have changed a great deal. If possible we will continue to update these images each month as the buildings develop.

Progress Update
Progress has been excellent and there are currently 2 Secondary and 5 Primary Schools in progress. The erection of the Glulam (laminated wood) beams is due to start shortly at the Heathryburn site; and at the Airyhall site starting the end of July. Demolition is complete at the Mile End site, with pouring of the concrete foundation underway. Meanwhile site preparation is underway at the Braehead and Hazlehead sites.
At both the Bucksburn and Cults sites progress continues to be impressive and last week was the final week of pre-cast concrete elements being erected at both the Secondary schools; all walls and roofs of the main accommodation blocks are now assembled and watertight. The exterior roofing and other elements of the build are also well underway.
Project Overview
The 3Rs Project is the first step in the regeneration of Aberdeen City Council’s schools estate. The initial phase will see 2 secondary schools replaced, 7 new primary schools built and one refurbished, and the incorporation of two special schools within the new developments. The 3Rs Project is being implemented through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) using a Non-Profit Distributing Organisation, with support from the Scottish Government.
All schools will be seen as community schools, and community facilities and other Council and public services will be delivered from the buildings. Further information on the provisions at each school can be found in the 'Proposals' section to the right of the screen.
