Skanska has secured three new construction contracts worth a combined $313 million across the United States and Sweden.
The projects include a university research facility in Texas, a pedestrian bridge in Los Angeles, and a high school development in Sweden, highlighting the company’s continued expansion in both the education and infrastructure sectors.
Texas A&M Biology Research Building
One of the largest contracts involves constructing the Biology Teaching & Research Building for Texas A&M University in College Station.
The 17,200-square-meter facility, valued at $165 million, will replace several outdated biology buildings and will support advanced education and research activities.
Key features of the building include:
- Modern research laboratories
- Classrooms and collaborative learning spaces
- Advanced technology and data facilities

Construction is expected to begin in spring 2027 and finish in spring 2029.

Avalon Pedestrian Bridge in Los Angeles
In Los Angeles, Skanska will construct the $102 million Avalon Pedestrian Bridge and Promenade Gateway Project.

The surrounding redevelopment will transform 12 acres of former industrial land into a public recreational area that will include:
- A landscaped entry plaza
- Scenic viewpoints
- Terrace seating areas
- Pedestrian pathways
- Community gathering spaces
- Parking facilities
- A 40-foot-tall sundial
Construction begins this month, with completion expected in August 2028.

In Halmstad, Skanska will build a $46 million high school designed to accommodate around 590 students.
The 16,000-square-meter facility will include:
- Modern classrooms and learning spaces

- A fully equipped school kitchen and dining facilities
Construction will begin next month, and the school is scheduled to welcome students in autumn 2028.
