A New Riverbank Primary for Aberdeen’s Future

Robertson Construction Eastern delivered the new-build Riverbank School in Aberdeen, north of the city centre. The school was designed to house a total of 651 pupils and 60 nursery-aged children. Outdoor facilities comprise a 3G seven-a-side football pitch and external play and learning facilities. The school will increase local school capacity, providing the best learning opportunities for children of the community.

Boosting local primary capacity

The new school was constructed on the site of the former Tillydrone Infant School and part of the former St Machar Primary School grounds. This project expanded local primary school capacity along with provided 100 new Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) places to improve educational outcomes and help young people reach their full potential. 

Flexible design for future needs

The school’s design ensures flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of the community, such as shifts in pupil needs, community developments, or local demographics. 

New facilities for Aberdeen’s children

This redevelopment provides a new facility for the children of the area, with empowerment and learning at the heart of the project. Community remained a top priority throughout the development, and our relationship with Aberdeen City Council made this possible. Our goal was to provide the next generation with everything they needed to succeed with top-of-the-range educational facilities.
