College heralds beginning of Highlands campus construction

The initial construction phase of the ambitious Inverness Campus project is taking shape as steel erection for a new College is nearing completion.

Inverness College will move into a state-of-the-art facility in time for the 2015 autumn term. Replacing two existing sites, the new college consists of a curved three-level structure topped with roof top plant pods.

Working on behalf of main contractor Miller Construction, BHC will erect approximately 1,400t of structural steelwork for the project.

Overall the Inverness Campus will also include student accommodation blocks, leisure and sports facilities as well as office and research space.

The campus is linked to Inverness town centre via a recently completed steel composite bridge that spans the A9. Cleveland Bridge fabricated, supplied and erected the bridge last year.
