Skanska says that it has signed an additional $207 million contract with University of North Carolina Hospitals to build a new surgical tower in Chapel Hill.
The 31,100-sq.-ft., seven-story tower will house surgical spaces, including 24 operating rooms, 56 pre and post-operating rooms, and 56 intensive care unit rooms for recovering patients, families and guests.
The tower will tie into the existing facility on multiple levels, while improving the main patient entry and current hospital logistics with two new pedestrian bridges.
Construction is underway on the project and is expected to be completed in August 2022.
