It will also repurpose an existing Simmons building nearby.<\/p>\n<p>The $311 million project is the final phase of \u201cOne Simmons,\u201d an effort to consolidate all of the university\u2019s facilities onto one campus. The project is a decades-long plan to support Simmons\u2019 mission as one of the few remaining women-centered universities in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The roughly 398,264-square-foot building will include a dormitory with over 1,000 beds, meeting and social spaces, office support areas and a 500-seat dining facility. It also includes an athletics facility with a pool, gymnasium, rowing tanks and weight room. In addition, the building will accommodate an existing central electrical plant and emergency generator, which serve the other buildings on the existing campus.<\/p>\n<p>Work on the project began in May and is slated for completion in September 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Once Simmons takes occupancy of the new building, Skanska will pivot its focus on the development of Longwood Place: an approximately 1.7 million-square-foot mixed-use development in the Longwood Medical Area, on the current location of Simmons\u2019 housing complex. The project will include life science and research space as well as multifamily housing.<\/p>\n<p>The Longwood Medical Area is a hub of hospitals, research institutions and academic centers.<\/p>\n<p>Skanska announced that it had secured zoning rights for the $344 million development the same day as it made its contract with Simmons University public. Work will begin in late 2026.<\/p>\n<p><!---- Article PDF link download -----><\/p>\n<p><!---- End Article PDF link download -----><br \/>\n<!--- White Paper--><br \/>\n<!-- End Whitepaper -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5143531171910809\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- News - Bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5143531171910809\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8320848692\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldconstructiontoday.com\/news\/skanska-expands-boston-portfolio-with-2-multimillion-dollar-projects\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This article was originally posted at Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sweden-based contractor and developer Skanska announced it has won a contract from Simmons University to build a new Living and &#8230; <a title=\"Skanska expands Boston portfolio with 2 multimillion-dollar projects\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/skanska-expands-boston-portfolio-with-2-multimillion-dollar-projects\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Skanska expands Boston portfolio with 2 multimillion-dollar projects\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18036,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[461],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-construction-today","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
