SOCIAL VALUE SPOTLIGHT
Delivering social value in construction: Woodland View School
Social value is a key deliverable of every SCAPE project. As a contractor, we try to leave a lasting legacy on every project we work on. Social value is the added value McLaughlin & Harvey creates for society through our business operations, improving the environment, the economy, and social wellbeing.
Our work on Woodland View School in East Dunbartonshire is a prime example of delivering social value in construction, with the project benefiting both the surrounding community and local economy.
While the ultimate goal of the project was to create a state-of-the-art learning facility for pupils with a broad range of additional support needs, we also saw an opportunity to generate meaningful and lasting social value.
What did we deliver?SOCIAL VALUE SPOTLIGHT
Maximising social impact: The Usher Building
Strong relationships have been built with clients, employees, communities, and supply chains to help us incorporate our five pillars into every project: Building Futures, Good Employer, Shared Prosperity, Communities Matter, and Sustainably Green.
The Usher Building – which we constructed on behalf of the University of Edinburgh – is a prime example of how we put our responsible business strategy into action.
While the building offers opportunities for academics and partners to collaborate and help transform the delivery of health and social care, we saw boundless potential to add value to communities across Edinburgh and beyond.
