Hillside Primary School, Portlethen

This £13 million development is Potlethen’s third school addition to the area, catering for up to 355 pupils and 62 members of staff. Rockpanel Woods was used to create a beautifully modern and eco-friendly building, which reflects the ‘green’ ethos of the school. ROCKPANEL Woods boards are produced from compressed natural basalt, a sustainable and readily available volcanic rock, offering the benefits of stone with the warmth of woods.
