Heron Bros complete ESG Reporting
Scotland
The Neilston Learning Campus project combines Neilston Primary School, Madras Family Centre, and St Thomas’ Primary School on one site. Built on the existing Neilston Primary grounds, the new facility allowed the school to stay open during construction. After completion, the old buildings were demolished to create an all-weather football pitch and multi-use games area.
