Additionally, Skanska has received a supplemental contract from Virginia Tech to build a new College of Engineering building.

This development is a continuation of the project that began with the demolition of the 15,400m² Randolph Hall.
The construction now moves forward with the renovation of a portion of Hancock Hall to link to the new construction of the five-storey, 28,500m² Mitchell Hall engineering building, which is expected to become one of the largest structures on the Blacksburg campus.
The upcoming building will accommodate five departments: aerospace and ocean engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, and engineering education.
Additionally, the project will integrate one of the country’s most significant university-owned wind tunnels and feature advanced classrooms, instructional and research laboratories, and collaboration areas.
The project, which started in early 2024, aims for completion by late 2028.
In April of this year, Skanska was awarded a $102m contract to rehabilitate State Route 78 in San Diego County, California, US.
