Skanska extends role in UN revamp

10 Jan 14 Skanska has been awarded additional contracts worth US$57m (£33.6m) for the renovation of the United Nations headquarters in New York, USA.

The contracts cover various projects and follow on from Skanka’s original appointment in 2007, when it was selected to serve as the construction manager for the capital master plan involving renovation and upgrading of the international agency’s New York headquarters.

The project involves refurbishment of the UNHQ complex to replace deteriorated systems, to meet current building codes and standards for safety, security and accessibility, and to improve its environmental performance. The complex covers over 17 acres and includes six buildings with a total area of about 2.6 million square feet.
