Mavis Construction participated in the construction of a new six-building community college campus for the Public Building Commission of Chicago. Located on the South Side at 63rd Street and Halsted Street, The New Kennedy King College is the largest project of its kind at $258 M. NKKC was completed six (6) months ahead of schedule.
The “at risk” Construction Management project, performed as a joint venture with McClier, required coordination, management and performance monitoring of all aspects of construction and quality control.

- 56% in City-Resident participation
- 15% in Community/Residential

- Project of the Year: Higher Education/Research
- The project is the first “campus setting” for the City Colleges of Chicago. Forty acres encompass 500,000 sq ft
- Ninety-five subcontractors contributed to the project, as sub-contracts were proportioned to accommodate small business and minority business firms./li>
- Forty-seven percent of contract dollars were awarded to minority, women-owned firms and vendors. Project workforce reflected 60% minority representation.
- A sub-guard program made default insurance available, avoiding subcontractor disqualification from the bidding process.

- 90% of existing concrete recycled for foundations and roadway backfill.
