More about the DLC

The new state-of-the-art Dunfermline Learning Campus has been designed with learners in mind. Every aspect of the new campus has been and is being carefully created to give learners the best learning experience and facilities for their course.

The new Fife College facility at the Dunfermline Learning Campus is the first major development to adopt the Scottish Government’s ‘Net Zero Public Sector Buildings Standard’, and will be ‘net zero ready’ on completion.

Facilities within the new campus

Inside the new campus you can expect industry-standard workshops for engineering and construction, a university hub so learners can study to degree level with a range of university partners on campus, a purpose-built learning café, sports hall, and an events and conference centre to cater for different college, community and business events.

In addition to the indoor facilities, the campus will be fully equipped with brand new outdoor facilities, an external terrace, outdoor spaces for our childcare courses, external dining areas for the hospitality students, covered outdoor workshop areas for built environment courses and a range of outdoor teaching and gathering areas.

Key Aims:

Delivering a first-class, sustainable learning environment.
Building on existing partnerships and developing learner pathways.
Developing skills and helping to rebuild the economy.

With our new campus, we are committed to ensuring that it will be net zero in operation by 2035, which is 10 years ahead of Scottish Government requirements.
