POMONA, Calif. (September 21, 2020) – Sundt Construction, Inc. and design partners HMC Architects and EYRC Architects earned a National Award of Merit in the Educational Facilities category from the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) for the student housing project at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. This is the first collaborative design-build project for the university.
“We are humbled to be recognized for our joint efforts on this transformative project,” said Jim Householder, Project Executive for Sundt’s Building Group. “Together with our design-build partners, we were able to live up to our purpose: to build an environment where the community prospers.”
The $162 million project spans more than 10 acres and consists of two eight-story towers that can house up to 980 students and a 35,000-square-foot, 680-seat dining facility. Sundt constructed the concrete structure on both towers with its own highly skilled crews. The project also included the relocation of approximately 2,600 linear feet of Kellogg Drive and 400 parking spaces around the area.
The project will now move forward to be considered for the DBIA National Award of Excellence in the Educational Facilities category.
Sundt has over 70 years of project work throughout the state of California. The company recently completed the new Mathematics and Science building at Coast Community College District’s Golden West College and is working on the new Science, Engineering and Math (SEM) building and Veterans Resource Center (VRC) at the Cypress College campus. Sundt has offices in Irvine, San Diego and Sacramento.
