- More than a century since two University of Kansas (KU) engineering graduates launched Black & Veatch, that global critical infrastructure solutions leader has donated renewable energy infrastructure that now powers the university’s new welcome center on its main Lawrence campus.
- Black & Veatch’s participation in the welcome center is the latest KU connection in a long history that began when late Jayhawks Ernest Bateman Black and Nathan Thomas Veatch founded the company, now a global leader in innovative, resilient and sustainable infrastructure solutions.
- “Our deep history with the University of Kansas dates to the 1915 origin of our company and its growth from just 12 professionals to more than 10,000 today.
- This Jayhawk Welcome Center extends those ties in a very modern way through sustainable energy,” said Mario Azar, Black & Veatch’s Chairman and CEO.
