The Board of Examiners on Tuesday approved a $55.15 million contract with Core West to provide construction manager at risk services for the new engineering college building at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
One-half of the cost is being funded by general obligation bonds. The other half is funding raised by UNLV.
Core West will build the Engineering Academic and Research building. The goal is to have the project completed by July 2025.
In addition, the board consisting of the governor, attorney general and secretary of state, approved a $3.69 million contract for architectural and engineering services for the Army National Guard’s new training center in Las Vegas.

The contract was awarded to Carpenter Sellers Del Gatto architects.
