Gilbane-Exyte JV Wins $279M Semiconductor Lab Construction Project at Hanscom AF Base

A joint venture between construction firms Gilbane and Exyte has won a three-year, $278.6 million contract to build an advanced compound semiconductor laboratory at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Massachusetts.

The JV will also construct a facility for microsystem integration activities as part of the firm-fixed-price contract, the Department of Defense said Thursday.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers received two bids for the project through an online solicitation, obligated the full contract amount using fiscal 2022 military construction funds and estimated construction work to finish by Jan. 27, 2025.

Rhode Island-based Gilbane has a separate venture with German engineering company Zueblin that won a $969 million contract to carry out the Rhine Ordnance Barracks Medical Center Replacement project for the Army.
