Campaign 2015 – 2020 Campaign 2015 – 2020, to create a new centre of excellence for performing and visual arts, the Meadowside Arts Centre (MAC) in Dundee’s former Head Post Office, is the largest capital campaign in UK independent school history. This section contains updates on this thrilling and unique city-centre project.
The Meadowside Arts Centre
With the opening of the V&A, Dundee is fast becoming a cultural and creative hub given recent investment across the city. The MAC represents the next major landmark for the city. A place where the transformative power of the Arts becomes a living reality. Creativity is at the heart of all great education and its importance in promoting wellbeing and self-esteem is well documented. At the beginning of the Campaign in 2015, the project was set up with the intention that funding would come from a combination of reserves, loans and fundraising. However, in the last twelve
months the landscape for Independent Schools changed fundamentally with significant financial impact. We continue to review and develop the plan within this challenging political and economic backdrop with a goal of enhancing the community facilities for Dundee. If you would like to know more about the project or would like to support the Campaign in some way please do get in touch with me through our Development Office using the details below.

I would like to thank you for your continued support towards our campaign to redevelop Dundee’s Former Head Post Office Building. As you may be aware, this building, known as the MAC (Meadowside Arts Centre) will provide state of the art facilities for those interested in all aspects of the Arts and is designed to serve the whole community, and all ages, as well as the School.
