Great Glen House
Great Glen House, Inverness is the headquarters of Scottish Natural Heritage. The construction of this building was brought about following the government's de-centralisation policy that called for the relocation of applicable public sector offices from the main conurbations like Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Great Glen House was built by Robertson Northern on a site developed by Robertson Property. Everyone involved with this building knew that it would be a special building. However, none expected it to be quite as special.
To date the building has won a total of ten awards, including the much coveted BREAMM excellent award - it scored 84%. At the time this score was the highest ever achieved by any office building anywhere in the UK. This score has only recently been surpassed.

This is a framework for effectively managing your business and meeting your customers' requirements. It is also by far the world's most established quality framework, currently being used by over ¾ million organisations in 161 countries and sets the standard not only for quality management systems, but management systems in general.
It helps all kinds of organizations to succeed through improved customer satisfaction, staff motivation and continual improvement.
ISO 14001
ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted standard that sets out how an organisation can go about putting in place an effective Environmental Management System (EMS).
