KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced that its Building Group has been
awarded an $87 million contract for the construction of the new
Dental Sciences Building for the School of Dentistry at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The new five-story, 216,000-square-foot Dental Sciences Building
will include academic, research, pre-clinical and administrative
spaces. Two existing buildings have been demolished at the site and
renovations to three existing buildings are taking place during
construction of the new facility.

the dental school and comes on the heels of the Building Group’s

higher education construction. “We are proud to partner with UNC
and build upon our vast experience in the construction of higher
education facilities.”
The project is designed to achieve LEED® Silver certification.
Flad Architects is the architect of record. Construction on the
project is currently under way and completion is scheduled in
January 2012.
