Balfour Beatty Construction In Joint Venture Awarded The Parkland Replacement Hospital
As part of a joint venture team known as BARA, Balfour Beatty Construction has been selected to manage construction of the Parkland Replacement Hospital for the Parkland Health & Hospital System in Dallas, Texas. The 1.9–million–square–foot facility will replace the existing 55–year–old hospital, and, when complete, will be the largest hospital building in Dallas.
The $1.2 billion program will include a new, 862–bed Acute Care hospital, separate clinic building, office building, parking structures, and other support facilities, and will be built to Silver LEED specifications. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2010 and complete in 2014.
Said Walt Massey, Senior Vice President at Balfour Beatty Construction, "For years, we've watched the amazing work being done by Parkland to help serve the residents of Dallas County. On behalf of the entire BARA team, we are thrilled to be a part of the next generation of Parkland."
