POMONA, Calif. (Feb. 10, 2016) – Sundt Construction, Inc. (www.sundt.com) was selected as the collaborative design-build contractor for Phase 1 of a first-year student housing replacement project at California State Polytechnic University Pomona.
Teaming with HMC Architects, Brailsford & Dunlavey and Ehrlich Architects, Sundt will develop up to three buildings totaling 305,000 square feet and housing 980 student beds. The $140 million project also includes the addition of a new 35,000-square-foot, single-story dining commons, expansion of the central plant and relocation of a major campus road.
“Sundt, combined with our design build partners, showed a real commitment to leaving no stone unturned during the pursuit of this project,” said Sundt Vice President Robert Stokes. “We could not be more excited to work with Cal Poly Pomona on such a transformative project.”
The project currently is in the design phase and is expected to break ground in early 2017. Once completed, the new facilities will replace the campus’ aging residential halls, providing students with modern living spaces that offer the latest technology, green features, and designed indoor and outdoor program spaces.
