Rather than a complete new build project, creating the new Duns Primary School involved the refurbishment and remodelling of the B-listed former Berwickshire High School. The old High School had lay dormant since 2009, so the task of repairing and upgrading, was a challenge, especially given its listed status. The renovation involved a mixture of demolition and remodelling and the end result, is a fresh, modern and high quality two stream Primary School which still retains many of its original features.
