*PNNL moving ahead on buildings
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Wash., is moving forward with three new buildings that will advance its national missions in energy, security, and environment. In May, a joint venture between Lydig Construction Inc., Spokane, Wash., and George A. Grant Inc., Richland, was awarded a $106 million construction contract for the nearly 200,000-square-foot Physical Sciences Facility-the largest contract ever awarded in the Laboratory's 43-year history. Construction will be completed in 2010. In June, PNNL breaks ground on the Biological Sciences Facility and the Computational Sciences Facility. The buildings will replace laboratory and office space PNNL is using on the south end of the Hanford Site. Contact Greg Koller at (509) 372-4864.
