The Maritime College Develops Student Housing

The Maritime College, a specialized college of the State University of New York, has selected the New York division of Skanska USA Building as construction manager for a new dormitory building on its Throggs Neck campus. The project is being developed in conjunction with the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York. The new 300-bed residence hall will be a four-story steel structure. At the rear of the building, sections of glass curtainwall will allow students to view Long Island Sound from one of the centrally located lounge areas. This building will also provide needed handicap accessible room suites. Designed by Mach Architecture & Engineering, the project is being built on a fast-track basis, with completion scheduled for August 2004.
