Blurring the division between school and neighbourhood, a historic sandstone building - previously hosting the now relocated Ayr Academy.
Positioned on the banks of the River Ayr, the redevelopment reinvigorates the waterside town centre with a multi-generational offer that extends beyond education alone.
The mixed-use development comprises a nursery, primary school and community arts centre. Additionally, it provides a new home for the Ayrshire Archives and Registry, which stores the repositories for historical records and the Ayrshire fine art collection.
Headed by education but complemented by broader community facilities, the redevelopment preserves the historically rich site - which has been the location of a school for more than 400 years - and presents the town centre with a new cultural offer.
