Sector: Education

Wellwood Leslie Architects have extensive experience across early years, primary and community learning environments, guiding clients from initial feasibility through to completion. Our approach is collaborative and comprehensive, offering a fully integrated consultancy service that brings together architectural design, cost control, and mechanical, electrical and structural engineering under a single, coordinated contract. This ensures clarity, efficiency and confidence for our education partners.

Our work with leading independent schools such as High School of Dundee and Morrison's Academy demonstrates our ability to deliver carefully considered nursery environments that form a seamless introduction to wider school life. Through sensitive site selection, detailed feasibility studies and well-managed procurement processes, we have created welcoming early years settings that maximise natural daylight, strengthen connections to outdoor play, and foster engaging, imaginative interiors.

In the public sector, projects such as the refurbishment of the Lochgelly Centre and the major extension to Parkhill Primary School reflect our capability in transforming and expanding existing facilities. From complex refurbishments that consolidate civic services to large-scale school extensions incorporating sports halls, IT provision and landscaped playgrounds, our designs enhance capacity while respecting context and heritage.

Across all projects, our focus remains consistent: delivering high-quality, sustainable learning environments that maximise daylight, encourage wellbeing, and provide flexibility for evolving educational needs.
