Esh Border Construction has won a contract to convert a former railway building in Stirling into a centre for conservation body Historic Scotland.

The 拢8.9m Engine Shed project in Forthside will create a central 鈥渒nowledge hub鈥�, bringing together technical outreach staff, education and conservation science specialists, and digital documentation staff. It will also host exhibitions and other events.

Esh Border director John Moore said the Engine Shed was an 鈥渆xciting project鈥� with a 鈥渕assive emphasis鈥� on economic and regeneration objectives.

鈥淲e have no doubt that the centre will excel as an inspiring place of learning for local residents and visitors, that will serve to celebrate and preserve Scotland鈥檚 rich built heritage, and we are very proud to be part of it,鈥� he said.

The project鈥檚 construction phase is due to be complete by summer 2016.
