Works begin on site for Barony Campus

After months of planning and negotiations, work on the site of one of the most eagerly anticipated new build projects in East Ayrshire - the Barony Campus - will commence on Monday 30 April.

Over the course of the coming weeks, the appointed contractor Morrison’s Construction will start to prepare the Broomfield site for the construction of this exciting campus development.

Public access will be restricted and fencing will be erected to secure the area as heavy plant machinery and equipment start to arrive on site. Footpaths around the Riverwalk will remain open to retain public access to Broomfield.  

With the overall investment in the region of £68m, the Barony Campus will incorporate the Robert Burns Academy, Lochnorris Primary School, Cherry Trees Early Childhood Centre and Hillside School, providing state-of-the-art facilities for children, young people and members of the local community.

The new campus is expected to open to pupils and students in August 2020.
