Laboratories at Glasgow Royal Infirmary which help with patient diagnosis are being given a £15m revamp.
Refurbishment work on the hospital's University Tower building started earlier this year and is expected to be completed by mid 2013.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said the investment would provide "some of the most modern up to date laboratory facilities in the world".
A £90m lab has already been completed at the Southern General campus.
The health board's director of diagnostics, Aileen MacLennan, said: "This is another significant investment in laboratory medicine which will see NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde with some of the most modern up to date laboratory facilities in the world.
"Laboratory services in Glasgow and Clyde are undergoing significant improvements in both accommodation facilities and equipment replacement.
"The refurbishment of the University Tower building at Glasgow Royal Infirmary is the next phase in delivering modern, state-of-the-art lab facilities for the people of Glasgow and Clyde."
