Inverness College UHI is a college based in Inverness, in the Highland council area of Scotland. It is the hub campus of the University of the Highlands and Islands. The main Inverness Campus at Beechwood opened in August 2015. Its executive offices are located on the banks of the River Ness in the centre of town. Also part of the college, the Scottish School of Forestry is based near Balloch. Former campuses include both: Midmills in the Crown and Longman. It has more than 1,700 students studying towards degree courses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Facts 2014 )〕 ==New campus == In May 2010 it has been decided that the college would move to a new purpose built site at the Beechwood farm, co-locating with the Scottish Agricultural College, the Centre for Health Science phase 4, and a training hotel operated by a partnership between the Calman Trust and Albyn Housing. The planning application for phase 1 of the new academic campus was passed by The Highland Council in May 2010. The original outline planning application made by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) for the entire landholding submitted early 2009 remains live and includes facilities for private sector research & development, inward investors, student accommodation, sports facilities, a community and cultural centre within landscaped parkland. This application forms a vision for the development over the next thirty years. The campus at Beechwood, just off the A9 south of Inverness, is considered to be one of the most important developments for the region over the next 20 years. The principal of UHI at the time, James Fraser, said: “This is a flagship development which will provide Inverness with a university campus and vibrant student life. It will have a major impact on the city and on the Highlands and Islands. UHI is a partnership of colleges and research centres throughout the region, and the development of any one partner brings strength to the whole institution."〔()〕 It is estimated that the new campus would contribute more than £50million to the economy of the Highlands because it could attract innovative commercial businesses interested in research and development, while increasing the number of students who study within the city by around 3,000. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inverness College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
