Glasgow City Council

Target:

Completion of facility and operation as a successful neighbourhood centre.

Status:

Community campus officially opened 24 August 2006.
Activity: The idea of Yoker community campus came from local people’s desire to see the old Yoker primary school redeveloped as the centre of community regeneration in the area.

It was a core project of the shipbuilding task force initiative which aims to bring new investment into Scotstoun, Govan and surrounding communities, following the decline of the local shipbuilding industry in the 1990s.

The campus provides a learning centre with offices, training accommodation, childcare support, an internet centre and café. The services offered by the campus complement the facilities of Yoker resource centre.
