Pittsburgh Construction Jobs Supported by University Projects
Friday, February 26th, 2010Pittsburgh construction jobs will be supported by the efforts of a local university.
The University of Pittsburgh’s property and facilities committee recently approved $46 million worth of construction and renovation projects. Of that funding, $28.2 million will go to expand the school’s physics and astronomy laboratory, $15 of which will come from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Aside from the construction jobs the projects will support, the university also plans to add three permanent faculty positions in experimental physics research, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
