Skanska recently won three contracts, two in the US and one in Sweden, together worth US$313m.
The hat trick includes a university research centre in Texas, a pedestrian bridge in Los Angeles and a school in Sweden.
Skanska will build the 17,200-sq-m Biology Teaching & Research Building in College Station, Texas for Texas A&M University, for $165m.
It will replace several outdated biology buildings and will contain research laboratories, classrooms, technology spaces and space for advanced biological and biomedical research.
Construction is due to begin in spring 2027 and be completed in spring 2029.
Last year, Skanska won a $91m contract to build a meat science and technology centre at Texas A&M University.
In Los Angeles, Skanska will build the $102m Avalon Pedestrian Bridge and Promenade Gateway Project (pictured).
The concrete cable-stayed arch bridge will create a safe crossing point over working rail operations, connected to the recently completed Wilmington Waterfront Promenade.
The project will transform 12 acres of former industrial land into open space featuring a landscaped entry plaza, viewpoint, open terrace seating area, pedestrian pathways, community areas, parking lots and a 40ft-tall sundial.
Work on the project starts this month and is scheduled to complete in August 2028.
In Sweden, Skanska will next month start building a $46m high school for 590 pupils in the city of Halmstad.
The 16,000-sq-m project includes a sports hall and kitchen. It’s due to welcome students in autumn 2028.
