SKANSKA TO CONSTRUCT $65M CAMPUS UNION AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

DURHAM, N.C. — Skanska USA has been awarded a $65 million contract to renovate and construct Duke University’s West Campus Union. The 115,000-square-foot project will feature student dining, casual common spaces, faculty common areas, meeting rooms, food preparation facilities, storage and mechanical rooms. During construction, Penn Pavilion will temporarily house dining facilities for students. New York-based Grimshaw is designing the new West Campus Union to LEED certification standards. Skanska will break ground on the facility in November. The project is slated for a December 2015 completion.
