Construction Inforum 99

 
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

Construction Inforum 99 was held at the University of Virginia's Student Activity Building on Wednesday, January 13, 1999 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The University of Virginia is a University of many strong traditions. While many of these involve academics and athletics, a very strong tradition that supports the University's mission is its aggressive construction program. In the past ten years the University has spent $300 million dollars on construction not including the $220 million spent on the University Hospital in the late '80s and the $79 million that will be spent on the Carl Smith Center Expansion at Scott Stadium Project.

The University's Facilities Planning & Construction Department (FP&C) presented "CONSTRUCTION INFORUM 99" as an opportunity for contractors and subcontractors to meet with and strengthen relations with FP&C staff. The three operational divisions of FP&C; Capital Programs, Health Sciences Center, and Engineering, met with attendees to outline current and future construction programs at the University. Additionally, representatives from the office of Contract Administration, Administrative Services and Information Systems were present to answer questions and demonstrate FP&C's Word Wide Web Pages.
