Bearsden Academy

£19.4m - 1,200 pupils - 11,733 square metres

If everything stays 'as above' the project would appear to be £2.3million over budget before they start!

It's interesting to compare the number of pupils and cost per site.

*I understand that the costs include the complex decant and the demolition and preparation of both sites at Bishopbriggs.

Let's hope they update this part of the contract information...

"Thomas Muir High School and Bishopbriggs High School -04428859- will be amalgamated with one new school being put on the Bishopbriggs High School site (South Crosshill Rd, Bishopbriggs, G64 2NN )"
