Stranraer Academy

Space, light, air, metal 'trees' and real birds, that's 'Street', the 200 metre-long spine of the new wing of Stranraer Academy. Work began in 1995. It was officially opened in January 1999. Facilities are considered to be second to none in Scotland. Showpiece of post-modern educational building, the complex features a multisensory room, hydrotherapy pool, kitchen, dance studio and IT area, as well as a library and integrated special needs room called 'Aird'. Some classrooms have state of the art moveable walls to cope with fluctuating class sizes.
