Recently, Skanska completed construction of the new parking garage for Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Virginia.
The new garage features three levels below grade and six levels above grade to accommodate nearly 1,700 cars.
The company has also commenced construction of the new six-storey outpatient pavilion.
The new 245,000ft2 facility will feature radiology and imaging suites, clinics for examinations, physical therapy examination and treatment rooms, as well as six operating rooms.
The new pavilion and garage will provide direct and easy access for patients from the entry at the parking garage to treatment areas.
Skanska Washington D.C. building operations general manager and executive vice president Dale Kopnitsky said: “It is an honor for Skanska to be part of the team bringing the new Virginia Hospital Center garage and patient tower to life.
“As Skanska’s largest healthcare project in the region, this garage completion signifies the progress we are making in delivering these much-needed buildings to the community.”
