We’re collaborating with Fife College and Fife Council to deliver Scotland’s first net-zero tertiary education building - The Dunfermline Learning Campus. Awarded via the Crown Commercial Service CWAS framework, the Campus is the largest pathfinder project under the Scottish Government’s Net Zero Public Sector Buildings Standard and is being constructed using innovative low-carbon materials and modern methods of construction to reduce waste and carbon emissions.

Exciting news from our Early Careers team at the Strategic Design Partnership! 🎉 Led by Amelia House and Molly Kirven, we hosted a carbon hackathon where early careers colleagues tackled carbon reduction in our industry. This collaborative event, organised by our Early Career Network, brought together 20 participants from Balfour Beatty, AtkinsRéalis, Jacobs, and Mott MacDonald. With guidance from industry experts, the teams brainstormed innovative tools and processes for reducing carbon. This was the third such event, following previous hackathons on modern construction methods and process integration. The SDP continues to redefine contractor-designer relationships and promote the best design solutions early in project lifecycles, saving time and money. #Sustainability #CarbonReduction #EarlyCareers #Collaboration
