The company was also responsible for constructing three pedestrian sky bridges, roadway upgrades, and a new multimodal hub bus stop.
Skanska will register this new project in its US order bookings for the second quarter of this year.
Construction works on the hospital expansion began last year, with it being expected to open its doors to patients in 2026.
