CLAYCO BREAKS GROUND ON $60 MILLION PROJECT FOR WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

ST. LOUIS — St. Louis-based Clayco, as designer/builder, has broken ground on the new 150,875-square-foot Stephen F. and Camilla T. Brauer Hall building on the northeast corner of Washington University’s Danforth Campus in St. Louis. The $60 million building will be devoted to state-of-the-art teaching, and research in energy and environmental engineering for Washington University’s School of Engineering & Applied Science. When the facility is completed in 2010, it will house the School of Engineering’s Department of Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering. Additionally, the building will provide space for the International Center for Advanced Renewable Energy & Sustainability, and the Department of Biomedical Engineering. The four-story structure, which has been designed to achieve LEED-Gold certification, will include 34 labs and a vivarium. Stephen F. and Camilla T. Brauer Hall is the first phase of the School of Engineering’s master plan that calls for approximately 600,000 square feet of new space.
