Construction of Inverurie Community Campus, designed Halliday Fraser Munro, began in April 2018. The first phase of the project has seen completion of the main campus building, which can house 1,600-pupils and extensive community facilities.

Preparations are now underway for the transition of staff, pupils and services from the existing Inverurie Academy, St Andrews School, swimming pool and community centre.
