KBR (NYSE: KBR) – KBR announced that its Building Group has been awarded a $25 million contract for the construction of the Lancaster County Courthouse in Lancaster, South Carolina. Lancaster is located approximately 40 miles south of Charlotte, North Carolina. Construction on the project has begun and completion is expected in April 2011.
Lancaster County's new 100,000-square-foot courthouse will house four courtrooms, jury deliberation rooms, lobby space, storage for court records, office and support areas, and secure facilities. The third floor will include unfinished space for future expansion. The original courthouse in Lancaster was constructed in 1828.
“This project, which is very important to the Lancaster community, is a significant and sizeable win for KBR and the Building Group,” said Luther Cochrane, Senior Vice President, KBR and Chairman of the Building Group. “We look forward to the successful construction of the new courthouse and to providing a facility that will effectively serve the Lancaster community for many years to come.”
Designed by Stevens & Wilkinson of South Carolina, the new courthouse is planned to achieve LEED certification
