Community Centre, Symington Road North, Symington

The Community Centre on Symington Road North in Symington was designed by James and Robert S Ingram of Kilmarnock in 1876, with later additions and alterations. This former school is a single-storey building with an attic, featuring a symmetrical front and a T-shaped plan, along with flat-roofed additions on the sides and rear. It is constructed from tooled grey sandstone, with cream sandstone quoins and tabbed margins.

The principal elevation faces southwest and has a gable end with a finial that is slightly advanced at the center. It includes a large window at ground level and a circular attic opening in the gablehead. A polygonal ridge vent with a tapering spire and decorative finial is positioned behind. The remaining bays on either side have single recessed windows, while the outer left side has a blind elevation due to the flat-roofed addition.

The southeast side elevation features a projecting finialled gable end with a large window at ground level and a circular attic opening in the gablehead. To the right is a recessed wing with a lean-to porch projecting to the left, and a single window to the right. There is a flat-roofed addition on the outer right.

On the northeast rear elevation, the central finialled gable end projects, while the principal range is recessed on both sides, featuring lean-to additions in the re-entrant angles. Various flat-roofed additions are present at the front and sides.

The northwest side elevation has a projecting finialled gable end with a single window at ground level and a circular attic opening in the gablehead. The left side features a recessed wing with a lean-to porch projecting to the right and a single window to the left. There are also various flat-roofed additions on the front and sides.

As of 1999, the window openings were boarded up, and there are louvred attic openings. The roof is covered in grey slate with fishscale banding and decorative terracotta ridging, some of which is missing. The building has stone-coped skews and gabletted skewputts.

The boundary walls, railings, gatepiers, and gates consist of coped rubble sandstone walls that enclose the site, which was formerly a playground. The wall steps down at the front and is topped with fleur-de-lys finialled iron railings. There are rectangular-plan, stop-chamfered sandstone gatepiers flanking the entrances to the north and south, each capped with gabletted tops, and fleur-de-lys finialled iron gates.
