Royal opening for new 'Pavilion in the Park'

Scottisharchitecture.com

HRH the Princess Royal will today perform the official opening in Dunfermline of the new Ł2.9 million headquarters of the four British-based Carnegie charitable trusts. The Carnegie UK Trust, the Carnegie Dunfermline & Hero Fund Trusts and the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland have been re-located to their new bespoke building by Page and Park Architects on the northern rim of Pittencrieff Park which the Scots-American steel king, Andrew Carnegie, gifted to the people of his native city in 1903. Andrew Carnegie House – named after the trusts’ founder and the father of modern philanthropy - will develop the relationship between a cutting-edge community-based trust and sister trusts engaged in higher education, research and policy advocacy, as well as support for injured heroes or their surviving dependants. Co-location costs have been largely offset by the proceeds of the sale of the trusts’ period headquarters in central Dunfermline.
