Here at Skanska, we are committed to finding new and innovative ways to protect our environment. With Earth Day approaching, we are highlighting our Gulf State Park Lodge project in Alabama. Our team discovered a unique and sustainable way to recycle the five tons of gypsum drywall produced on site by grinding it up and distributing it to local peanut farmers for their crops.

Last night, this highly-maneuverable in-line trailer helped our crews navigate city streets to deliver pre-cast concrete columns to our 2+U development. The columns will lift the tower 85 feet above grade so a unique public retail space can occupy the street level. Our crews thank the Seattle Department of Transportation for their help!
Last week, Skanska sponsored the Portraits of Humanity exhibit in Princeville, NC. Incorporated in 1885, Princeville is the oldest town in the U.S. chartered by freed African Americans. The town faced devastation at the hands of Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and most recently by Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Despite these events the residents of Princeville are determined to recover and rebuild their community with Skanska’s support. We are providing support, education and training to the town to recover, develop and sustain for the future. http://bit.ly/Princeville-Skanska
Our cooperation with Business Link blooms! We invested in the largest Polish network of flexible office space last year. So far they opened two locations in Skanska buildings – in Poznań and Kraków and the next one in Wrocław is coming soon. Now Business Link starts its international expansion, announcing the entry into the Czech market. The office will be located at Skanska’s Visionary office building in Prague. The opening is planned for July this year.
