| Aecon awarded contract for Dalhousie University in Halifax Aecon Group, one of Canada's largest construction and infrastructure development firms, announced that its Atlantic Buildings Division has been awarded a Construction Management contract for the new $27 million Academic Building at Dalhousie University in Halifax. The project involves the demolition of the existing tower structure and a church hall on the site of the new building, and the subsequent construction of a 104,000 square-foot Academic Building. The new building will be four floors above ground, plus a penthouse, and a below ground basement level with storage and mechanical and electrical rooms. The new Academic Building will also include an atrium to separate the classroom wing from the Faculty office spaces. Phase one of the project, which was delivered under a separate contract, involved the demolition of the existing structures and has already been fully completed. The expected completion date for the construction of the new building is June 2010. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
