Suffolk Construction Company, Inc., was recently awarded a federal government design-build project for the Navy, an $8 million contract for a new Waterfront Operations Small Craft Facility at the Naval Submarine Base New London. Suffolk is partnering with AECOM to construct the 13,498 s/f facility, which will consolidate port operations activities into one central building. The facility will include administrative space, classrooms, two high bays for boat maintenance and a painting booth. "We are very excited and honored that the U.S. Department of the Navy selected Suffolk as the design-build contractor on this important project," said John Fish, CEO, Suffolk Construction.
