Raploch Community Campus

Case Study:

  • Hood Type:

    Supply & Extract 7.8m x 3.2m x 600mm

  • Material:

    1.2m 304 Grade Stainless Steel

  • The Project:

    The Raploch Community Campus is a flagship education project at the centre of the £120m regeneration master plan for the Raploch area of Stirling. Part of a £72m project by Gateway to replace 4 high schools in the Stirling area.

    Raploch is unique in that it provides a range of leisure, further education an other opportunities in a building that the members of the local community can truly feel is their own. Catering, including the school meals service and a bistro open to the public, is provided in an innovative way through a partnership arrangement with Forth Valley College where the kitchen also provides a training venue for the college. There are also hair and beauty facilities provided by the college within the Campus.

    Working alongside the main contractor "Ogilvie Construction" and M&E Contractor "FES", RS Vents were able to design, supply and fit an extraction system to fully comply with all the requirements of this unique kitchen. Despite a demanding timescale, our team of installers and fabricators were able to deliver this solution, on time and in budget.

The Project – Ventilation System Installation at Raploch Community Campus, Stirling

🏗️ The Project

The Raploch Community Campus is a landmark education development and the cornerstone of a £120m regeneration masterplan in Stirling. As part of a £72m investment by Gateway to replace four high schools, this multi-functional facility required a robust and hygienic kitchen ventilation solution to serve both educational and public catering needs.

Designed to accommodate school meals, hospitality training, and beauty therapy courses, the site includes a state-of-the-art kitchen operated in partnership with Forth Valley College. The system had to be both technically compliant and versatile enough for ongoing high-volume use.

  • Custom-fabricated supply and extract canopy
  • Manufactured from 1.2mm 304 grade stainless steel
  • Tailored to meet commercial and educational dual-use

✅ Results

Working closely with main contractor Ogilvie Construction and M&E specialist FES, RS Vents successfully delivered the system within tight timelines and strict budget controls. Despite the scale and complexity, our in-house fabricators and installers provided a seamless installation that’s still serving the campus reliably today.
