Education hub to bring Milton community together
June 6 2023
Glasgow City Council's education services department has lodged plans for a community hub and nursery in Milton, Glasgow.
Situated on the site of the former Glasgow School for the Deaf at Shapinsay Street, demolished in the 1990s, the project hub will cater for an expansion of early years provision while also introducing shared community spaces such as allotments and a playground.
Tenanted by North United Communities, a group dedicated to providing social and well-being initiatives, the building will replace outdated facilities at Ruchill Community Centre.
In a statement, the local authority wrote: "At the heart of the project, Glasgow City Council wish to create an effective educational environment which takes a holistic approach to the design process by combining social, economic and environmental goals resulting in a sustainable architecture, culture and landscape. The new hub requires to be responsive to current and future educational and community needs without significant impact on the environment.
"The project vision is to deliver an exemplar facility for the community of Milton. The building should aspire to become the new heart of the community. The spaces within should provide a stimulating and supportive environment which caters for the needs of both groups and individuals."
With space for 95 infants, the nursery will include four playrooms, a dining area and offices.

Hopefully this building is used to educate our children in how to design.
