HOUSTON -- KBR plans to develop a campus facility near Katy, Texas. The campus will be located off Grand Parkway and Interstate 10 (I-10). KBR has signed an earnest money agreement and intends to enter into a long-term lease for the new facility, which is expected to be just over 910,000 sq ft (84,542 sq m). Construction is expected to begin before year-end with completion anticipated in 2010.
"As future opportunities for new business continue to be reviewed, it is apparent that access to talented labor from two locations at each end of the Energy Corridor on I-10 will be a crucial element of KBR's continued growth and success," says William P. Utt, KBR chairman, president, and CEO. "Not only will the new campus enable KBR to meet our future growth demands, but it will also provide the company with a more favorable location amongst its growing employee and customer base in the Houston metropolitan area."
KBR's West Houston campus will use low-rise, tilt-wall construction and is being designed within LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) specifications.
