Two decades on from last working from the premises, careers advice and guidance will once again be delivered from the historic Parkhead Public School building
The building lay empty for more than 15 years and was listed on the Buildings At Risk register, before a massive transformation.
Now the category B-listed building has been revamped into a community enterprise centre with public and office space for various organisations, including Skills Development Scotland and Parkhead Housing Association.
Local Careers Adviser Moira Higgins delivered careers advice and guidance in the building nearly 20 years ago.

Talking about moving back in to the building, she said: "It’s been fantastic to come back in to the building after all these years. Careers information, advice and guidance has changed a lot since I last worked here, and it’s fitting that we’re now back, delivering a modern service to the Parkhead community in a building that has been completely transformed beyond recognition.”
Local Team Leader Laurence Bayston added: "We’re absolutely thrilled to be in the building and to be sharing a space with local community organisations such as Parkhead Housing Association, Playbusters, Parkhead Youth Project and Baillieston Community Care.”
