Located in Edinburgh, Fettes College is one of Scotland’s leading independent schools.
The new facility will be set within the College grounds, providing a new home for the school’s medical team and a centralised hub for medical and pastoral care services, as well as offering a specially-designed space to support student’s physical and mental health wellbeing.
The building has been made possible through the generosity of David Allardice, a former student, and will be named the Allardice Centre in his memory.
Helen Harrison, Head of Fettes College, said: “It is exciting to see construction of this ground-breaking new facility begin. The Allardice Centre will be such an important resource within our campus and wouldn’t exist without the very generous legacy from the late David Allardice. We are extremely grateful that he wanted to include Fettes and all our current and future students and staff in his legacy.
“This Centre will stand as a testament to his belief in the importance of the whole person, demonstrating our commitment to nurturing both the physical and mental health of our students, building resilience, and allowing them to thrive academically and personally.”
MU has joined Main Contractor CCG (Scotland) where our turnkey Electrical and Water Services package, as well as ancillary Civil Engineering, will contribute to the facility’s enhanced sustainability credentials with high levels of insulation and a low-emissions heating system paving the way for low-carbon operations across the campus.
The Allardice Centre is due for completion later this year.
