UConn has signed an $88 million contract with a New Haven construction company Skanska to build a facility at the school’s technology park, according to Skanska.

The 118,000-square-foot Innovation Partnership Building will house laboratories for researchers and entrepreneurs to work alongside UConn students, Skanska said.

The project is slated for a Jan. 2017 completion date.
