Construction has yet to begin on the University of Louisville’s new Academic Center for Excellence, which is expected to be complete by September 2016. The bid process has been completed, with three local companies submitting estimates.
A formal groundbreaking ceremony was held in February, with a May construction start anticipated. That didn’t happen so the work will begin this summer if the project is to meet the deadline.
According a UofL website, three local companies submitted estimates for the project. They were Messer Construction, which bid $14,479,000, Wehr Construction, $15,227,700, and Abel Construction, $16,300,000.
