A historical renovation is nearing completion in Houston. Skanska USA is doing $35 million in work to update and restore the Houston Community College System’s San Jacinto Memorial Building, which was originally built in phases between 1914 and 1936.
“Houston Community College put this job out through a request for qualifications more than two years ago, and then they took about a year to make a decision so construction could get started,” says Ronnie Howe, senior vice president for Skanska USA. “The demo started July 2012 and we started the exterior restoration around November 2012 and then the finish out, the build out of the interior of the building back in December 2012.”
