Futuristic home for Donaldson's

Edinburgh Evening News

The first images of a futuristic new home for Donaldson's College have been unveiled. A derelict factory will be bulldozed to make way for the purpose-built school in Linlithgow provided a detailed planning application is approved by councillors. The deaf college plans to move there when its leaves its A-listed home in the west of the city. The state-of-the-art new school, which will be home to 75 pupils and dozens of staff, features a swimming pool and games hall and residential accommodation for pupils who live outside the Central Belt. The college, which won outline planning permission for the project last month, hopes the new building will be completed on the nine-acre site by summer 2007.
