We’ve also been shortlisted for Project of the Year for Woodmill and St Columba’s RC High School
The groundbreaking new school is a visionary project, exemplifying our dedication to going beyond ‘traditional’ indoor learning. Sitting within the Dunfermline Learning Campus masterplan, the building brings together two schools into one building, but operationally separate and retaining their own identities.
This 26,666 m2 building prioritises wellbeing, collaboration and fosters community inclusion while reducing carbon emissions and energy use. Supporting a forward-thinking, environmentally conscious design approach, which shapes, inspires and supports the community now and into the future, our design is based on Passivhaus standards.
