At Norscot, we’re thrilled to hear about the £352,000 funding boost for the UHI Inverness Sustainable Construction Centre, thanks to SSEN Transmission’s Regional Community Benefit Fund. This investment is a fantastic step toward addressing critical skills shortages and supporting the Highlands’ transition to a more sustainable future.
As a Highland-based timber frame kit home manufacturer, we understand the importance of sustainable construction—not just for the environment but for the long-term resilience of our communities. The new Sustainable Construction Centre at UHI Inverness will help equip future generations with the skills and knowledge needed to drive eco-friendly building practices across the region.
For decades, we’ve been committed to using responsibly sourced timber, energy-efficient designs, and modern methods of construction that reduce waste and minimise the carbon footprints of our products. With this new centre, the Highlands can continue leading the way in sustainable building techniques, ensuring our homes and structures are designed to last while being kinder to the planet.
Sustainable construction is not just an industry trend—it’s the future. As Scotland works towards net-zero goals, collaboration between businesses and educators is crucial. We look forward to seeing the impact of this funding and how it will help shape a greener, more skilled workforce in the Highlands.
