Skanska Tops Out AI Research Building at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

Skanska and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) topped out the Artificial Intelligence and Quantitative Biology building at CSHL. This marks a key milestone of Phase I of CSHL’s Foundations for the Future campaign to invest in the institute’s infrastructure. Skanska is providing construction management services for the $248-million, 379,500-square-foot campus expansion, with Phase I adding neuroscience and cancer biology labs, an AI research building and a parking garage.

Phase II of the overall $500-million campaign calls for a new 81,000-square-foot research housing and conference center and a 56,000-square-foot housing and collaborative research center for visiting scientists. Substantial completion of the Foundations for the Future campaign initiative is projected for early 2027.

“With roots dating back to the 1800s, CSHL continues to exemplify a longstanding commitment to progress, innovation, and building for the future,” said Sean Szatkowski, EVP, general manager, Skanska USA Building. “It’s an honor to aid in carrying the Laboratory’s legacy forward through this transformative seven-acre expansion.”
