Leanchoil Trust invites submissions from experienced, conservation-accredited design teams to support the redevelopment of the former Leanchoil Hospital in Forres.
This ambitious project will restore and adapt the historic building into a community-led Health & Wellbeing Centre, creating a sustainable and inclusive space for future generations. The vision is to establish a micro health and wellbeing ‘village’, supporting healthier, happier lives while preserving an important local heritage asset.
We are seeking a multidisciplinary Design Team, to include architectural conservation, conservation structural engineering, and cost consultancy heritage expertise to deliver RIBA Stages 4-7, beginning with technical design for the main hospital building and fabric repairs.
With strong community backing, planning and listed building consent already secured, along with national funding support, this project represents a unique opportunity to contribute to a flagship regeneration initiative in Scotland.
