“ Cumnock Academy students won the competition . We had a look at the winning designs , then the students had a day visit to our design office and workshops , where our joiners were building items for the College . After a brief chat talking to the students about how design evolves from initial concept to final manufacturing drawings , we began building .
“ The seating pods can be seen on the third floor bridge , and there is also one at the Student Services desk on the ground floor .
“ It was really exciting to see the reaction of the competition winners when they saw the
finished product . I think all involved in the student pods should be very proud of their achievements , as a really exciting design and build has been created .
“ The students now have a great interior to feel inspired and motivated at the College . Overall , when you think of all the greats from Kilmarnock and the surrounding areas - Alexander Fleming , Hugh McIlvanney , Sir Tom Hunter , not forgetting Johnnie Walker - it ’ s exciting to think that someone could be starting their own journey right now in the building .“
