| Clark/Banks to construct new Johns Hopkins Hospital The Johns Hopkins Hospital awarded a $573-million contract to Clark/Banks, A Joint Venture to construct its New Clinical Facility in Baltimore. The 1.5-million-square-foot medical building will feature two, connected towers − one for adult cardiovascular and critical care and another for children's care. It is the largest health care project under construction in the nation. The project is the new main entrance and centerpiece of a $1.2-billion Johns Hopkins redevelopment plan to increase research and clinical space and replace outdated hospital buildings with advanced facilities. Located in the heart of Baltimore, at the northwest corner of Orleans and Wolfe Streets, this new building will interconnect with the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Building and the Nelson/Harvey Tower to form a state-of-the-art health care complex. The design team is led by Perkins+Will, of Los Angeles. Bard, Rao + Athanas Consulting Engineers, LLC, of Boston, is the mechanical and electrical consultant and Thornton Tomasetti, of Washington, D.C., is the structural consultant. The project is underway and it is scheduled for completion in 2010. Clark/Banks, A Joint Venture is composed of Clark Construction Group, LLC, of Bethesda, Md., and Banks Contracting Company, Inc., of Baltimore. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
