The Dunfermline Learning Campus (DLC) is a joint project between Fife College and Fife Council. This Partnership worked together with a shared goal: to improve education, create better job opportunities, and support the local community.

The new campus brings two secondary schools together in one modern, flexible building that opened in summer 2024. A new Fife College campus will open later in 2025. The new campus will support young people move more easily from school into college or work and giving them more chances to succeed.

The project also supports Fife’s wider goals. It helps grow the local economy by creating jobs and using local businesses. Over £34 million in social and economic value was delivered, which is more than the original £33 million target. This included hiring 139 local workers, supporting 1,883 weeks of apprenticeships, and spending over £20 million with local suppliers.

The campus is more than just a school and learning facility, it’s a community hub. It’s helped improve local facilities, like the Memorial Park Neighbourhood Centre and Touch Community Garden, through donations and volunteer work. These improvements give people better places to meet, learn, and enjoy the outdoors.

The project also supports Fife’s climate goals by using energy-efficient designs and sustainable building methods.

Following the success of the campus, Fife Council plans to use the same approach for future projects, like the development of the new school in Rosyth. This means more local benefits, more support for communities, and more chances for people across Fife to thrive.
