Johns Hopkins Builds New Clinical Building

Johns Hopkins Medicine has awarded Skanska USA Building the pre-construction services assignment for the New Clinical Building project for The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md. The 1.3 million-sf building will consist of a single structure with two distinct building programs - the Cardiovascular & Critical Care Tower and the Children's & Maternal Hospital. In addition, a new entry court and a below-grade parking garage will be constructed. The Cardiovascular & Critical Care Tower will include 320 adult beds, 44 operating and interventional procedure rooms, an adult emergency department, and associated support space. The Children's & Maternal Hospital will include 205 pediatric beds, a pediatric emergency department, ten operating rooms, labor and delivery suites, 35 post/ante partum beds and associated support space. The project is expected to be completed in fall of 2008.

The Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership is the architect-of-record and is also the design architect for the Children's & Maternal Hospital portion of the project. Perkins & Will is the design architect for the Cardiovascular & Critical Care Tower. Skanska, part of the the Parsippany, N.J.-based Skanska AB global group of companies, is teamed with joint venture partner The Smoot Construction Company of Washington, D.C., on the project.
