Sustainable Futures
Our Community
At Gordonstoun, environmentalism is woven into our very fabric. That's why when developing our new classrooms, we prioritised both the environment and environmental education over the cost.

Named ‘The Queen Elizabeth II Rooms’, HRH The Princess Royal officially opened what is known to be one of the ‘greenest’ classroom buildings in the UK. The building meets RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge targets and is the only building of its type to meet the Scottish Government’s new stringent energy and environmental standards, introduced in February 2023. The classroom hub is built to the highest environmental standards and provides our students and staff with the latest educational facilities, technology and equipment.
