BALFOUR TO DEVELOP LAKE FOREST COLLEGE HOUSING

LAKE FOREST, ILL. — Balfour Beatty Campus Solutions has entered into a development agreement with Lake Forest College for a new 233-bed student housing facility. The approximately $15 million project on the college's south campus in Lake Forest also includes demolition of the college's existing Moore Hall student dorm, which was built in 1893. Balfour Beatty has partnered with Solomon Cordwell Buenz as the architect on the project and Walsh Construction as the construction contractor performing demolition and construction work for the new building. Both companies are based in Chicago. The new student housing facility will open in August 2013. The 62,000-square-foot building will feature updated living arrangements that provide expanded social spaces and other enhanced residential options for students living on campus.
