KBR (NYSE:KBR) announced that its Building Group has been
selected to provide preconstruction services for Valdosta State
University’s (VSU) new $32 million Health Science and College of
Business Administration building on the university’s north campus
in Valdosta, Georgia.
The planned 144,000-square-foot facility will house four allied
health services programs — College of Nursing, Social Work,
Communications Disorders, and Sports Medicine/Exercise Physiology —
as well as classrooms, labs and support space for VSU’s College of
Business Administration.
The Building Group’s Atlanta and Nashville offices are
responsible for the project, which is expected to break ground when
construction funding is approved by the state. Preconstruction
activities are already underway. This is the Building Group’s
second project awarded by the Georgia State Financing and
Investment Commission (GSFIC) in partnership with the Board of
Regents of the University System of Georgia. The Building Group is
currently constructing a new School of Dentistry for the Georgia
Health Sciences University (formerly Medical College of Georgia) in
Augusta.
"The Valdosta State project is a strategic win for the Building
Group, and it strengthens our higher education portfolio and our
profile in the state of Georgia,” said Ed Smith, Executive Vice
President with the Building Group. ”The relationships we’ve
established and our team’s performance on the state’s School of
Dentistry project in Augusta played a big part in our being
selected for the VSU project.”
KBR is a global engineering, construction and services company
supporting the energy, hydrocarbon, government services, minerals,
civil infrastructure, power, industrial, and commercial markets.
