Kwame Building Group (KWAME) has been selected to serve as construction manager and owner representative for the new St. Louis Community College campus in West County. The $18 million construction project will be completed in March 2007. KWAME also provided pre-construction services prior to the award of the construction contract.
The Wildwood campus is at the corner of Highway 109 and Old Manchester Road. The new facility will replace the existing West County Education Center on Kehrs Road in Ballwin and will contain a bookstore, offices and classrooms.
The 75,000-square-foot educational facility will feature a greenroof, cisterns for irrigation, daylight techniques for harvesting light, and low temperature air and paddle fans in classrooms to save energy. The college will pursue LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification on the building.
