A WEEK-LONG campaign to attract more people into careers in building will see 14 top Scottish construction sites welcome the public.

Open Doors 2017 – delivered by Build UK in partnership with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB – will take place across Scotland from March 27 to April 1.

The 14 venues include new builds and established icons, such as fire-damage renovations to Glasgow School of Art, major refurbishment work to the A-listed Edinburgh College of Art, and the construction of V&A Museum of Design in Dundee, an international centre of design for Scotland and the first design museum built in the UK outside London.

Once on site, visitors will get exclusive access to various aspects of construction work, along with tours and presentations. They will also be encouraged to find out more about potential careers in construction at the industry’s careers website – Go Construct.
