Skanska USA to Build Women and Children’s Health Building on Christiana Campus

NEWARK, Del. – Skanska USA will be construction manager for the new Women and Children’s Health Building for Christiana Care Health System in Newark, Delaware.

The eight-story, 388,000-square-foot expansion will include a replacement neonatal intensive care unit featuring private rooms with sleep-in space for families; new and expanded labor and delivery suites, including a new labor lounge; private rooms for families after delivery; an expanded triage area; separate admitting and discharge areas and a continuing care nursery for babies born with health issues.

Slated for completion in January 2020, the new expansion to the labor and delivery and C-section facility is located on the Christiana campus. This new complex will also feature clinical and logistical support services such as lab, pharmacy and dietary.

The expansion also includes a four-level parking garage near the hospital’s main entrance for patients and visitors.
