ConDig (13-Nov–23) Swedish developer and contractor Skanska has inked a $98 million deal to revamp a hospital in Paducah, Kentucky.

Under the deal with Bon Secours Mercy Health, the company will carry out renovations to the Mercy Health Lourdes Hospital Tower.

The project involves modernizing and renovating the Hospital Tower and the addition of a new Central Utility Plant. The tower will receive new windows, systems for heating and cooling, bathrooms accessible for those with disabilities, and a complete renovation to the second and seventh floors. 

The 975 square-meter (10,500-square-foot) central utility plant will house new equipment to convert the tower to a new hydronic system to increase efficiency.

Construction started last month and is expected to reach completion in the second quarter 2026.

Skanska also reported that it had landed a $100 million deal to build a STEM building in San Marcos, Texas.

Under the deal with Texas State University System, Skanska will oversee the building will of an eight-story, 14,500 square-meter (155,900 square-foot) structure that will house the Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science, and will provide teaching space, class labs, departmental offices, and research labs for several other academic disciplines. 

The project also requires site and utility improvements and upgrades to support the new building.

Construction is scheduled to kick off in June 2024 and earmarked to reach completion in May 2026.

In September, Skanska won a $834 million contract to revamp and expand the I-405 corridor in Bothell, Washington.
