Cash awards to build inspiring spaces

Facilities
Twenty projects across Scotland have received money from Inspiring Learning Spaces, a fund to improve facilities and forge closer links between schools and further education.

The schemes cover a wide range of areas from ICT to engineering and STEM subjects to hospitality.

The awards include £260,000 for Aberdeenshire council for remodelling four classrooms into an innovative and flexible teaching and learning environment, and £300,000 to Angus to go towards extending STEM provision through a construction training skills centre facility within the new Brechin Community Campus.

Elsewhere, Falkirk is receiving £300,000 towards creative industry and STEM campuses in up to three secondary schools, a project being carried out in partnership with Forth Valley College and the University of the West of Scotland.

Meanwhile, Glasgow has been awarded £300,000 to create four Learning Spaces of the Future, facilities that are to be incorporated into existing vacant classrooms, and West Dunbartonshire is receiving £45,000 towards three state-of-the-art STEM Learning Centres.
