PPP schools "little more than a roof"
Saturday, 10 December 2005
In a telling article in the Herald of 8 December, architect Alan Dunlop makes a number of interesting statements.   "We are building schools for children we wouldn't use as adults… fees are cut to the bone so any idea of developing design is a non-starter.   That means you get sub-standard buildings which are little more than a roof over your heads.   It is designed for the accountant and the bean counter and in 20 years time these buildings are likely to become as bad as the schools they replaced because the materials are not good enough and the design is poor."

The SNP has regularly criticised the PPP/PFI secondary schools project as not being value for money.   Now it is interesting to note criticism from an architect's viewpoint as well.   The Labour Group in Glasgow has said it will not use PPP for primary schools.   Effectively that is an admission that they got it wrong with the secondary schools.
