Galashiels Academy

A Modern Learning Environment for the Scottish Borders

Platinum Scotland was proud to play a key role in the delivery of the new Galashiels Academy, a flagship educational project for the Scottish Borders Council. Working as a specialist subcontractor to Castle Building Services under main contractor Morrison Construction, we contributed to the creation of a modern, flexible learning environment designed to serve both students and the wider community.

Our Delivery

Operating within a high-profile, large-scale construction site, Platinum executed the essential mechanical services required for the academy’s extensive facilities. Our work was integrated into a build that features a vibrant central spine, core teaching spaces, and elite sporting facilities.
