The Printing House, which will cater “to the needs of college students,” will offer a computer and print center, a media and video-gaming room, and study nooks in community areas available to all residents.
William H. Lane, the firm’s CEO, founded the company in 1967. The firm specializes in general construction, construction management, and design/build services, according to the release.
