In 2011 then Historic Scotland completed an assessment of the town art in Glenrothes, ultimately awarding listed status to a number of artworks scattered throughout the town. The organisation also gave positive recognition to Glenrothes' significant role in helping to create the idea of art being a key factor in creating a sense of place. [67] Further information: History of local government in Scotland Fife House, headquarters of Fife Council The Rothes Colliery, the new coal mine associated with the town's development, was built on land to the west of Thornton, an established village south of Glenrothes. [40] The mine, which was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1957, was promoted as a key driver in the economic regeneration of central Fife. [41] However, unstemmable flooding and geological problems in the area, combined with a lessening demand for coal nationally, made the mine less viable, and it was closed in 1965. [7] Ironically, miners who had worked in older deep pits in the area had warned against the development of the Rothes pit for this very reason.

Construction of a Glenrothes college campus began in the early 1970s, originally specialising in paper manufacturing, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering courses. A second institute known as FIPRE (Fife Institute of Physical and Recreational Education) was built adjacent catering for sport and physical education as well as providing a sports centre for the town. [222] The Glenrothes campus of the college is located at Stenton Road in Viewfield. [232] This was significantly extended in 2010 with the development of the "Future Skills Centre". It includes departments in engineering, construction, renewables and science to cater for emerging industries specialising in renewable energy and low carbon technologies as well as provide training for major engineering projects.

Annual awards that were set up by Urban Realm and Carnyx Group in the mid-2000s to challenge the quality of built environments in Scotland saw Glenrothes awarded their Carbuncle Award in 2009. [57] The judges awarded Glenrothes the category of the most dismal place in Scotland for its "depressed and investment starved town centre". [58] This generated mixed and polarized views from locals and built environment professionals alike. [59] In the immediate aftermath of the award Urban Realm hosted a conference in the town named 'Saving Down Towns' to try to underline how great Glenrothes could be. Planners and architects were brought along to suggest possible ways forward for the town, as well as to discuss the challenges facing Scotland's urban centres in general. [57] [60]

Glenrothes has a planned road network with original masterplans establishing the principle that "through traffic" be bypassed around the housing precincts by a network of "Freeway" and "Highway" distributor roads. These would connect each precinct to the purposely designed town centre and to the industrial estates. [234] Another element that was adopted was the use of roundabouts at junctions instead of traffic lights which would allow traffic to flow freely. [234] Jamieson, Bill (26 January 2006).

Early precincts in the town were served by their own primary schools which were to be provided on the basis of one school for every 1,000 houses. [222] The first primary school to be opened in Glenrothes was Carleton Primary School, built in 1953 in Woodside. [33] In total thirteen primary schools were developed in the town, twelve non- denominational and one to serve catholic pupils. [85] [222] In February 2014 Fife Council's executive committee voted to close one of Glenrothes' primary schools at Tanshall as part of a wider school estate review which sought to reduce costs. The closure faced considerable local opposition and the proposals were called-in by the Scottish Government, but ultimately the closure of the school went ahead as planned and it was demolished in 2016.

A retail park has also been constructed at the Saltire Centre, approximately half of a mile (1km) to the southwest of the town centre containing major stores including Matalan and Homebase. [136]
