The construction bid for Central Oregon Community College’s science building was awarded to Kirby Nagelhout Construction of Bend.

The bid for the 47,000-square-foot facility, which will include labs and general-use classrooms, was $12,545,000. The construction company beat out 10 others.

The new building will be located east of Loop Road on the Bend campus near Deschutes Hall, and is the fourth of five major buildings being funded by a 2009 bond.
