This report works with Newbattle Community High School, focusing particularly on how their new building can fully express and support their Digital Centre of Excellence status.
The new school, which opens in Autumn 2018, needs to maximise the benefits of the investment, and best practice from the project should inform the briefing of future secondary schools in Midlothian and Edinburgh.
A&DS worked with Newbattle Community High School in Midlothian to learn how their new school building can help them be a Digital Centre of Excellence

A group of students from Our Lady of The Missions used our Tests of Change process to hack their learning space and got to build their own furniture!
One of our key areas of work is to provide advice on design - A&DS supports investment in homes and public buildings, and everything in between.
We work with partners to ensure that design becomes central to how we plan our places - to demonstrate the value of design.
Learning: A&DS offers a number of ways to share good practice, build connections and support and develop confidence in new ways to approach things.
A&DS supports communities, providing advice and support and we promote the benefits of community engagement and share examples of good work.
We are committed to helping those who fund, design and use our public buildings. A&DS does this by providing advice, supporting client and user groups
One of our priorities is to improve the design quality of our public spaces and infrastructure to support wellbeing.
A&DS has made the delivery of more and better homes a priority - supporting inclusive growth through more and better housing.
The Tests of Change project aims to create excellent teaching and learning environments using Space Hacks and testing solutions in a learning space.
