Hazlehead Academy Campus - Progress Report

hub North Scotland have issued an update on the progress being mad in the development of the new Hazlehead Academy Progress.

Robertson Construction
Since taking possession of the site in late November 2025, Robertson Construction has completed the formation of the temporary bell mouth site entrance off Skene Road, the removal of existing trees adjacent to Groats Road, the demolition of the former janitor’s lodges and swimming pool block, tree protection measures, and the rection of perimeter fencing and hoarding.

The existing 3G pitch surface has also been removed and materials recycled.

Over the coming weeks, Robertson Construction will commence the removal of subsoil from the site as part of cut and fill operations. Additional works will include the installation of new attenuation tanks to help manage surface water, the relocation of site welfare facilities, and the commencement of foundations, progressing from east to west. Robertson Construction would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused during the construction works, particularly in the early stages when there will be a large volume of vehicles removing excavated materials from the site.

Aberdeen Heat & Power
The existing energy centre that provides heating to the current school and surrounding buildings will be replaced with a new modern energy centre to serve the new campus.

The new energy centre will use a combination of low-carbon technologies, including heat pumps which can recover and reuse heat that would otherwise be wasted. This will help reduce carbon emissions and improve overall energy efficiency.

Backup systems, including gas boilers will also be included to always ensure a reliable heat supply. The facility will be designed to meet modern environmental standards and will operate with minimal impact on the surrounding area.

Over the next six weeks, works will focus on establishing the new energy centre and installing key equipment. This will include the delivery and positioning of heat pumps and other plant within the energy centre compound. Connections will also be made to the existing heating system to maintain continuity of supply during the transition. In addition, large equipment such as hot water storage tanks will be installed.

Residents may notice an increase in construction activity during this period, including deliveries and lifting operations. All works will be carefully managed to minimise disruption where possible.
