New accommodation has been opened for University of the Highlands and Islands students in Inverness.
Students are moving into the £6million facility at Inverness Campus this week in time for the start of the new academic year.
The development, which was built by Robertson Northern, will house up to 150 students a year in single rooms with private cooking facilities, and studio rooms with shared kitchens.
Fiona Larg, the university’s chief operating officer and secretary, said: “We are delighted with our new residences on Inverness Campus and are excited to see students settling into them for the first time.
“Students are at the heart of what we do and the provision of suitable accommodation is an important asset in supporting current students and attracting new ones.”
Robertson Northern started work on the residences in September last year.
Frank Reid, regional director of Robertson Northern, said: “Despite extremely challenging conditions, we were able to complete the build in good time for the new academic year.
“By using pre-fabricated frames from our specialist timber frame division, we were able to reduce construction time without comprising on design, quality or cost – helping to ensure Inverness students have access to first-rate accommodation well ahead of schedule.”
