Monifieth Learning Campus

The final design has been developed to meet stringent Passivhaus requirements. The highly energy efficient building has an optimised passive design and follows fabric first principles. This minimises heat loss and solar gain, resulting in very low energy demand, while giving the pupils, teachers and community a high level of comfort. This, and other design elements, will support and enhance the experience of learners. 

Angus Council has funded the capital investment for the project, which is part of Phase Two of the national Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP). The council will benefit from Scottish Government revenue funding once the project is complete, aligned to the outcomes set out in the LEIP – including achieving an energy performance target of 67kwH/m2/annum. 

Robertson is leading the construction of the new education and community campus on the site of the existing Monifieth High School. As a tandem build, the existing school will remain in full operation until the new facility is completed. Our focus on safety is paramount, with a strict traffic management plan in place, controlling the time of day when contractors and deliveries can access the site, and ensuring school buses and pupil drop-off areas are maintained.

Angus Council’s aspiration is to provide a state-of-the-art facility that will be fully used all year round. As part of this, new facilities and amenities will be available to the community, including a swimming pool, athletics area to Sport Scotland standards, and sports pitches (synthetic and natural).
