Industry News: Turner Team Wins Texas A & M Fort Worth Campus Contract
Texas A&M University System is expanding into Fort Worth with a three-building research campus. Construction of the first building is set to begin this summer. The university recently announced it had selected a triple venture team of Turner Construction Co., Dallas-based CARCON Industries and Fort Worth-based Source Building Group Inc. for the $85-million Law and Education Building. The team for the 225,000-sq-ft building also includes Dallas-based Dikita Enterprises, architect-of-record Stantec and design partner Pelli Clarke & Partners.
Andy Tandon, vice president and general manager at Turner, said in a statement that the construction team would “maximize opportunities on this project for historically underutilized businesses and local Fort Worth trade contractors.” Turner has a page on its website with information for potential subcontractors. Construction on the first building is expected to complete in 2025.
