Dundee City Council has opened an exhibition detailing its proposals to build a 19,000sq/m community campus at Drumgeith Road.

The East End Community Campus will replace the current Braeview Academy and Craigie High School with a single campus hosting up to 1,879 pupils on an 11.5-hectare site.

A future learning vision undertaken by Holmes Miller and Robertson calls for full height glazing to Drumgeith Road with teaching spaces arranged north to south around an open plan 'learning plaza' and 'collaboration spine'.

Top lit practical teaching spaces will be provided on the top floor including art rooms opening to a south-facing gallery and science labs that combine practical and theory-based learning.

In their exhibition notes the architects wrote: "The campus accommodation has been designed to wrap around a central village square, which would create a navigation point for users as they move around the building. This would form an important civic space for community events, graduations, break out and relaxation.

"The ground floor plan readily splits into three distinct zones, with a community reception as the central point of arrival."

The consultation will run until Tuesday.
