Bush Affiliates, LLC of Davenport (IA) has been named the general contractor for the Phase II development of WIU-QC's Riverfront Campus. Bush's $29.5 million single prime bid for construction of a 94,800 square foot classroom complex is funded by the Illinois Jobs Now! capitol construction program. Construction will begin upon completion of contracts, with an anticipated completion of Summer/Fall 2014.

The $42 million Phase II project allows for further growth in the Quad Cities campus and will house academic programs in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Education and Human Services and Fine Arts and Communication. Phase I on the Riverfront campus, opened January 2012, supports the College of Business and Technology, including the School of Engineering; academic and student services; and University Administration.
