Construction work is anticipated to commence in June next year and is set for completion in May 2026.

Separately, Skanska has commenced renovation works on the Mercy Health Lourdes Hospital Tower in Paducah, Kentucky.

The company entered a contract with Bon Secours Mercy Health on this project, which is valued at $98m.

Skanska will register the contract to its US order bookings for Q4 2023.

The hospital tower will be modernised and renovated and a new central utility plant will be built in the process.

The 975m² central utility plant will comprise new equipment that will be utilised for converting the tower to a new hydronic system, which is expected to improve energy efficiency.
