More than 90 guests, composed heavily of local members of construction trades, visited an inaugural Construction Fair on May 8, co-hosted by UT Health San Antonio and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).
The fair was conducted by the institutions’ supply chain management departments in support of their Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) programs. It brought contractors large and small together with school representatives to learn about upcoming and planned projects at the growing campuses.
“Both institutions have construction projects underway and have more planned in the near future,” said Eric R. Walls, senior director of Supply Chain Management at UT Health San Antonio.
“We were excited to engage with the contractors and they’re excited about opportunities to help us grow and update our campus and UTSA’s,” he said.
