Skanska USA Building announced April 7 that it has signed a contract for $225 million to implement pre-construction services for the project.
The UF Shands Cardiovascular Neuroscience Hospital addition is slated to include 20 operating rooms (ORs) and 216 beds, split evenly between cardiovascular and neuroscience.
