Skanska has signed an additional contract with Oregon Health & Science University for its Hospital Expansion Project in Portland, Oregon. The contract amendment is worth $200 million.
The additional contract includes the interior build-out of the new hospital expansion. The scope involves framing and sheathing, mechanical electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems completion, in addition to miscellaneous scope for the new hospital expansion building. The approximately 50,000-square-meter (533,000-square-foot), 14-story hospital expansion will be executed within a collaborative project delivery model.
The new tower will be comprised of three levels of parking, six levels of patient floors including a bone marrow transplant department and surgical oncology and shelled space for future expansion. The new tower will be connected to the existing hospital by three pedestrian sky bridges.
Construction of the hospital expansion began in 2022 and is expected to open to patients in 2026.
