Project Description

“The historic landscape surrounding the University of Nevada, Reno has a new landmark.”

 

Just across the street from Nightingale Concert Hall now stands a three-story office building with a distinctively modern aesthetic. The multifaceted design features a variety of unique and exotic finishes throughout, including more than 10 on the exterior alone. It is the new home of University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC), an organization that spans 28 countries and specializes in providing university students with affordable and valuable study abroad programs.

 

As the Design-Build Contractor, United Construction collaborated extensively with USAC and the architect, Van Woert Bigotti, throughout design and preconstruction by providing constructability feedback and ideas for Value Engineering. The teamwork continued through construction and it is evident in the iconic stature of the final product.
