Project management team appointed for new Fife College campus

Design: Reiach and Hall, architects

Fife College has appointed the project management team that will deliver their new Dunfermline campus.

Following a rigorous procurement process, construction and property consultancy firm Gardiner & Theobald was chosen to form the multi-disciplinary project management and design team.

They will be aided by award-winning architects Reiach and Hall, who will form part of the design team for the development.

The appointment will enable the design to be developed for the Fife College element of the Dunfermline Learning Campus, an innovative and collaborative venture to re-locate the Dunfermline Campus of Fife College and the proposed relocation of St Columba’s RC High School and Woodmill High School.

The college build is being supported through a £90 million investment from the Scottish Government, with the aim for it to be completed in time for the start of the 2024/25 academic year.
