By GlobalDataConstruction work on the project is scheduled to commence in August this year with the hospital planned to be ready by the end of 2025.
Last month, Skanska secured a $187m contract for the construction of the new 371,000ft2 Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute in downtown Orlando, Florida.
The company stated that the new combined inpatient and outpatient facility will be dedicated only for the care of orthopedic patients.
It will include an eight-storey building housing 75 inpatient rooms and ten operating rooms as well as an adjoining six-story medical office building that will comprise two floors of ambulatory suites which will contain an added 12 operating rooms.
The medical pavilion and outpatient surgery centre, designed by architecture firm EYP Architecture & Engineering, are planned to be completed next year, and the new hospital is expected to be completed by 2023.
