Fife College nominated for two Scottish Property Awards

Fife College, Dunfermline City Campus has been nominated for two Scottish Property Awards: Net Zero Development of the Year and Development of the Year (Public Buildings)!

As the first net-zero-ready tertiary education building in the country, it’s also one of a select few pathfinder projects for the Scottish Government’s Net Zero Public Sector Buildings Standard, setting new standards for mainstream sustainable construction.

The design brings together low-carbon materials and modern methods of construction with flexible and innovative learning spaces to support students, staff and the wider community for years to come.

It is among the first projects to receive independent verification of its embodied carbon emissions, achieving an industry-leading embodied carbon footprint of 560 kg CO₂e/m² for the Teaching Building. This is a significant achievement for such a highly technical facility. It’s been a privilege to be part of this journey as architects, working alongside a brilliant team of designers, consultants and contractors.

Huge thanks to Fife College and everyone involved for their creativity, commitment and collaboration throughout.
