Construction company Skanska has secured a contract, worth NOK530m ($47.75m), to construct a psychiatric hospital in Lørenskog, Norway.

Signed with Akershus Universitetssykehus (Ahus), the contract will be recorded as part of Skanska’s Nordic order bookings for the second quarter of 2023.

The contract signing follows approval of the preliminary project and the plans to complete the building in late April.

The new psychiatric hospital will cover an area of around 10,000m2 and will be capable of accommodating up to 50 patients.

The two-floor building will consist of four 24-hour units of 12 to 13 beds, activity and conversation rooms, and centrally located areas.

Its design and development will focus on providing the optimal treatment for patients, favourable working conditions for healthcare professionals, and efficient operational capabilities.
