Following on from our successful completion of the refurbishment of Aberfoyle Primary School, we were delighted to be awarded the project for Bannockburn Library and Hub.

The library undewent an an extensive refurbishment and redecoration, which included the development of Stirling’s first ‘Makerspace’ facility, as part of regeneration project for Bannockburn.

The works included the following:

Library – The Library works comprised upgrading the Main Library Space in this building to brighten up the dark facing brick interior finish, renew floor finishes and replace the ageing library shelving system. Additionally, the existing Learning Zone was converted into a Makerspace facility.

The Makerspace is in two parts with one area intended as a design area and collaborative space. This offers a relaxed and informal environment featuring storage boxes for makers’ projects, comfortable seating and a presentation/collaborative work scr.
The larger maker area is separate with a workbench situated in the middle of the room. It will serve a dual role, suitable for work and for hosting group visits, courses and class activities.

Hub – The Hub works comprised the internal strip out of an existing RBS branch. This space was converted into an Enterprise Hub, comprising a retail area, meeting rooms, a business space and kitchen etc.
