We have broken ground on a new hands-on learning centre at Scottish charity, Harmeny Education Trust’s 35-acre estate.
Located just south of Edinburgh, Harmeny Education Trust provides education, care and therapeutic support to young people with complex additional support needs due to early years trauma and adversity. Where previously the charity has cared for children up to 14 years old, the new centre facilitates a new technology, arts and design programme for students aged 14-18, expanding the capacity of the charity to empower children to reach their full potential.
The new 500 square metre Harmeny Learning Hub, which has been designed by Loader Monteith with Studio SJM Architects, sits at the heart of a woodland site opposite the existing Category B-listed 1800’s Harmeny House, and replaces an existing outdoor learning facility which was unusable in the winter months due to poor construction and condition.
We are thrilled to be bringing our expertise for building excellence to this worthwhile project for Harmeny Education Trust. Our first core value at TJL is ‘People’ which aligns perfectly with the New Learning Hub’s purpose to support young people aged 14-18 so they no longer have to leave Harmeny at the age of 14.
We are delighted with the Learning Hub design, which will be a beautiful and inspiring addition to our estate. Not only will the new building provide opportunities for Harmeny to grow as an organisation but, more importantly, it will enable us to help more disadvantaged young people reach their potential.
