this August. During its construction of the new


science complex, Sundt Construction was subsequently awarded the contract for a brand-new 1,100-unit housing development on the Sac State campus. Tat project officially broke ground on June 4 and as of late July was in the middle of pouring slabs and preparing for vertical construction to begin. As for the science complex, Falvey


said the project has been one the entire team is proud to have been a part of. “Te success of the new science


complex was not the result of any one champion; rather it was the result of
