UNR’s Mathewson Gateway District is adjacent to Interstate 80 and downtown Reno. The new business building aims to catalyze regional growth by enhancing connections between campus and the local community.
The project team focused on including local representation to jumpstart this economic growth. More than 70 percent of the project value is contracted to Northern Nevada trade partners, and a total of 23 Northern Nevada subcontractors are engaged in the project.
The project is expected to be delivered in July 2025.
