Projects include: Wick Community Campus, Wick North Primary School and Inverness Royal Academy for The Highland Council; Alford Community Campus for Aberdeenshire Council; Anderson High School and halls of residence for the Shetland Islands Council; plus a number of other school projects that are in development.

In addition to design and construction, Miller will also provide facilities management and lifecycle services at Wick Community Campus and is set to bid for estates services on the other school projects.
