Skanska recently announced it signed a $149.7-million contract to renovate and expand Riverside Community Hospital in Riverside, California.

The project includes a new seven-story, 292,000-square-foot tower that will feature patient beds along with essential services including dietary, pharmacy, lab, materials management and sterilization. The new addition will add 12 intensive care beds and 60 medical/surgical beds to the facility. The new patient tower will also include two shelled floors for future expansion.
