A new £42 million world-class treatment centre for the Highlands is starting to take shape at Inverness Campus.
The project, being developed by NHS Highland, will have 24-bed inpatient rooms, five operating theatres, clinics and outpatient departments offering healthcare for bone, muscle and eye conditions.
Construction on the National Treatment Centre Highland is being carried out by Balfour Beatty which began work on piling and foundations in late 2020 and completed it early this year on time, despite a harsh winter.
Work on the steel frame started in late February and has now reached an advanced stage.
The coming weeks will see concrete floors being constructed in advance of the main building envelope works in late spring, into summer.
The centre is set to transform the experience for patients when it opens in autumn 2022.
Aiden Teague, who is leading the project, said: "We at Balfour Beatty are very proud and excited to be working with NHS Highland to deliver the first National Treatment Centre in the region."
