Columbia names construction team

Columbia University has selected construction firms Bovis Lend Lease and the McKissack Group to guide the preparation, approval and eventual building of the school’s expansion into West Harlem. The 17-acre site of Columbia’s proposed expansion primarily consists of 129th to 133rd streets between Broadway and 12th Avenue, as well as three properties on the east side of Broadway from 131st to 134th streets. The university’s expansion plans have not yet gained the necessary public approvals needed to move forward. TRD
