Turner Construction Company, the nation's leading general builder, has been awarded a $130 million contract to provide construction services for the Deloitte University learning and leadership development center located in Westlake, Texas. Upon completion in 2011, the facility being built on a 107-acre property will seek a LEED Gold Certification from the United States Green Building Council.
The 712,000 sq. ft. facility will serve as a central destination for everyone from new hires to Deloitte senior leadership to convene for learning and leadership development. The campus will feature 800 guest rooms, multiple conference spaces and 35 classrooms that will host thought leadership events by Deloitte Research and Deloitte Industry Centers and sessions with professors from nationally accredited universities and colleges. Deloitte University will also serve as a place where Deloitte personnel can connect with mentors and colleagues. The facility will also feature dining venues, a ballroom, a business center, recreational facilities and a fitness center.
"We are proud to serve as the construction manager of this important facility for Deloitte which will be used to enhance their talent and employee training programs," said Matthew Papenfus, Vice President and General Manager of Turner's Texas operations.
