Mortenson Construction and Hampton Enterprises have announced an upcoming Subcontractor and Supplier Information session for the West Haymarket Arena project. The session is scheduled for April 27, 2011, from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., at The Cornhusker Marriott Hotel, located at 333 South 13th Street, in Lincoln. Information on the project scope of work, timeline, and procurement opportunities will be presented and attendees will have the chance to meet with representatives from the design and construction teams.

“Building West Haymarket Arena with the involvement of local workers has been the goal since day one and we look forward to discussing the project scope of work and timeline in greater detail” said Bob Caldwell, President and CEO of Hampton Enterprises.

Mortenson Construction and Hampton Enterprises were selected last year to build the West Haymarket Arena. The arena will be a multi-use facility capable of hosting sporting events, concerts, family shows, ice programs, and community activities. It will also be the new home to the University of Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball teams. Construction of the approximate 16,000 seat arena is expected to begin in the summer of 2011 and be completed in time for the basketball season in the fall of 2013.

“We are excited about the progress the team has made and we are very enthusiastic about having strong participation from the local subcontractor community,” said Derek Cunz, Vice President at Mortenson Construction.

Local subcontractors and suppliers are strongly encouraged to attend. Interested attendees should contact Holly Baete at Hampton Enterprises at (402) 489-8858 or hbaete@hampton1.com to RSVP.
