East Dunbartonshire early years centres

Robertson is constructing four Early Years education centres for East Dunbartonshire Council and delivery partner hub West Scotland. They are being built as part of the Council's commitment to deliver the Scottish Government's requirement for 1140 hours of freeearly learning and childcare.

Robertson has worked collaboratively with the design team throughout the process. Using common design elements across the projects, as well as a single design team, has also brought efficiencies.
