-Scottish Agricultural College - SAC's Farm Business Services team will assist farmers and its Veterinary Services team will provide diagnoses, analysis and advice to vets throughout the Highlands.

-Centre for Health Science - CfHS plan to expand its Inverness operation onto Inverness Campus.Plans include a multi-disciplinary health centre and a research at the centre will investigate the use of digital technology in preventing and managing disease and serving rural patients.

-A partnership between Albyn Housing Society and the Calman Trust, the training hotel will provide opportunities for disadvantaged young people in a real business environment. Hotel staff will train 16 to 25 year-olds in customer service, housekeeping, food service, maintenance and general skills for living. This hotel model is a UK first.

-Sports facilities - A high quality sports facility is planned for phase one, available to both campus users and the local community.

The aspiration is to create a regional venue catering for a diverse range of sports, attracting users from across the Highlands.

-Community Centre - A pivotal site on the Campus is earmarked for community use and the views of local people are being sought. Early discussions have focused on the potential for a centre for Gaelic culture which would encompass social space, community arts and adult education.
