Health Care: Owners Start To Resume Work On Projects That Were on Hold

Health care sector projects on hold, resume construction as decision makers see economic climate improvement.
Owners are continuing with expansion and renovation plans to keep pace with future demand and boost operational efficiency. A number of hospitals have managed to overcome economic challenges and move forward with capital investments. For example, Kaiser Permanente’s $500-million, 340,000-sq-ft hospital and 217,000-sq-ft medical office building in Vacaville, Calif., opened this fall after a six-month delay. Ohio State University Medical Center recently announced an ambitious $1-billion campus renovation that will include the construction of a new 17-story hospital tower, and in Indiana, St. Francis Hospital & Hospital Centers resumed work on a $265-million expansion to construct a six-story, 221-bed inpatient tower as well as additional facilities at its campus in south Indianapolis.
