Once complete, our work at Troon will see state-of-the-art teaching and sporting facilities provided for the local community, helping to support future generations for years to come. As with all of our activity across Scotland we will use locally based suppliers and sub-contractors, which will support economic growth in the area and provide employment and training opportunities for the people of South Ayrshire."

 Phase-1 involved the creation of a temporary science and technology building that enables the pupils and staff to decant out of the existing building in time for the phase-2 refurbishment works to commence. Due to the successful completion of phase-1, all works to Marr College will be carried out whilst the school remains operational. The school currently has a role of 1,033 pupils and following completion in Winter2017, the school's capacity will increase to 1,360 pupils.
