Update on Elmwood Campus 24 April 2025

Following a consultation with impacted colleagues, SRUC has taken the decision to fully close the main building at Elmwood campus. Last year we listened to the voices of students and stakeholders and took the temporary decision to keep the west wing of the main building at Elmwood open to house Animal Care for a further academic year. The situation, however, has not changed in that the main building’s deteriorating structural condition means that it is financially prohibitive and unsafe to keep it open.  

On a case-by-case basis, SRUC will help current registered Animal Care students to complete their programme of studies, including those who may have resits, at SRUC’s expense.  We will also provide advice to students who wish to continue their studies to the next level. 

This has been a difficult decision, and one which I understand will be a disappointment to some. However, the measures we are proposing enable SRUC to maintain its presence in Fife, and create a more positive future for the Elmwood Campus and continue to offer options for in-person, hybrid and distance learning in this region.
