Skanska just added another $68 million (about SEK 630 million) to its relationship with UNC Health, and this one comes with an 890-space parking deck attached. No small ask in healthcare construction, where patients and staff both need somewhere to put the car before anything else happens.
This contract marks the start of a brand-new greenfield medical campus in Durham, North Carolina. The project will also establish new design and construction standards for UNC Health's outpatient facilities going forward.
The build, by the numbers:
Six-story medical office building, roughly 191,000 square feet (17,700 square meters)
890-space parking deck
Full scope: site development, infrastructure, early equipment, core and shell
Prefab's doing the heavy lifting here. The project leans on unitized curtainwall systems, prefabricated exterior wall cladding, and offsite prefabricated exam room pods, the kind of factory-built approach that keeps schedules tight and site chaos low on a campus this size.
Work broke ground in June 2026, with completion targeted for April 2028.
Outpatient care keeps sprawling out of hospital walls and into standalone campuses like this one. If UNCH's new standards stick, this Durham project might end up as the template other health systems borrow from, parking deck and all.
