Woodmill and St Columba''s RC High School, Dunfermline
LAMILUX introduces bright spaces in the future of sustainable education
A new build school in Dunfermline, Scotland, has replaced St Columba's RC High School and Woodmill High School as part of the new Dunfermline Learning Campus. Historically, both schools were rated as Grade C (poor, exhibiting major defects, and/or not operating as intended) due to their condition, which initiated proposals from Fife Council to replace the deteriorating buildings with a new single site. The new Dunfermline Learning Campus now brings together students and staff from both schools to a modern, fit-for-purpose and low-carbon facility across 26,666m, making it the UK’s largest Passivhaus education building.LAMILUX put together a bespoke rooflight package design proposal, tailored to the client, comprising of 20 LAMILUX Glass Roof PR60 Passivhaus mono pitch rooflights and a total of 25 LAMILUX Glass Skylight FE Passivhaus rooflights. A full turnkey solution from design detail to installation was commissioned, to collaborate with the Scottish Governments investment to meet the international Passivhaus standard for energy efficiency, whilst supporting Fife Councils demonstration of commitment to forward thinking sustainable education.
