Planning Permission Granted for New Primary School in Dargavel!

jmarchitects are pleased to announce Planning Permission has been granted for the New Primary School within the Dargavel Village masterplan.

The design team’s approach is based on a landscape-led design and a carefully developed environmentally sustainable design strategy which aims to establish a place first ethos as the key driving force.

jmarchitects, have developed plans on behalf of Hub West Scotland and Renfrewshire Council for the design of the New Dargavel Primary School.

The requirement for the new Dargavel Primary School is in response to an increase in demand from the growing Dargavel Village Housing Development. The design team’s approach is based on a landscape-led design and a carefully developed environmentally sustainable design strategy which aims to establish a place first ethos as the key driving force.

The new school will provide a modern, safe and inclusive learning environment for 800 pupils within an integrated site comprising of a full size 3G pitch, parking and drop-off zones for staff, parents and visitors and external learning and play spaces. The school will also offer flexible facilities to cater to the wider community following a thorough community engagement period where feedback was collated and considered within the design. The new Dargavel Primary School aims to encourage and promote a much closer relationship between teachers and learners, and the community of parents, carers and community groups.

“We are delighted that the New Primary School in Dargavel Primary school project has received Planning Permission. The project will provide a modern and inclusive primary school for the young people of Dargavel, and a vital community facility within the wider Dargavel Village masterplan. We want to express our gratitude to the community of Dargavel for partaking in the thorough community engagement sessions which have shaped the design of the new school as well as the wider design team who have contributed to reaching this milestone.”
