The University of Pennsylvania has selected Skanska USA Building to construct the new Skirkanich Hall Bioengineering Building in Philadelphia. Skirkanich Hall will be approximately 63,000 sf and will include labs, classrooms, offices, and support facilities that will be connected to the Moore and Towne buildings on campus. Work also includes renovations within the two buildings to accommodate the tie-ins, as well as infrastructure improvements.
Skanska entered into an extended, voluntary, cooperative relationship with OSHA's Strategic Partnership Program for Worker Safety and Health to eliminate construction hazards and achieve an optimum level of worker safety and health at the job site. This program is being developed to inspire Pennsylvania-area construction contractors to improve their safety and health performance.
