  The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is planned to be the next-generation
very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray observatory. It is anticipated
that CTA will improve upon the sensitivity of the current generation of VHE
experiments, such as VERITAS, HESS and MAGIC, by an order of magnitude. CTA is
planned to consist of two graded arrays of Cherenkov telescopes with three
primary-mirror sizes. A proof-of-concept telescope, based on the dual-mirror
Schwarzchild-Couder design, is being constructed on the VERITAS site at the
F.L. Whipple Observatory in southern Arizona, USA, and is a candidate design
for the medium-sized telescopes. The construction of the telescope will be
completed in early 2017, and the status of this project is presented here.
