Balfour Beatty has won the contract to build Fife College's new Dunfermline campus.
The build is part of the proposed Dunfermline learning campus - a collaborative venture to relocate Fife College, St Columba’s RC High School and Woodmill High School to a purpose-built site.
The college started the procurement process the new campus last year and received several bids, following approval from the Scottish Government.
Preparatory work for the development will begin in September.
The project is expected to deliver a boost to the regional economy, with 80% of contracts for the build being awarded to local businesses, and more than £10m set to be spent in the Fife region.
There is also expected to be more than 200 weeks of employment offered to apprentices.
The new campus will be situated on a 58-acre site in the eastern expansion area of Dunfermline, and is due to open by the summer of 2024.
Dr Hugh Hall, principal of Fife College, said: “This is a hugely important development, not only for the College, but also for the Fife region and beyond.
"With millions set to be invested locally, and hundreds of job opportunities created, this development provides a huge boost to the local area."
Balfour Beatty’s managing director for Scotland Hector MacAulay commented: “We look forward to working in partnership with Hugh’s team to deliver on the College’s vision and also to support sustainable outcomes – especially in relation to carbon and the community.”
