$1.2 Billion Parkland Replacement Hospital Project Team Named
July 01, 2009
Balfour Beatty Construction was recently selected to manage construction of the Parkland Replacement Hospital for the Parkland Health & Hospital System in Dallas as part of a joint venture team known as BARA. The 1.9–million–sq–ft facility will replace a 55–year old hospital. When complete, it 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 support facilities. Two architectural firms, HDR Architecture of Omaha, Neb., and Corgan Associates of Dallas, will design the project, which will be built to LEED–silver specifications. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2010 and complete in 2014.
BARA is a joint venture formed to provide construction management services for the Parkland Replacement Hospital. BARA firms include Dallas–based Balfour Beatty Construction, Dallas–based Austin Commercial, Dallas–based H.J. Russell & Co., and Dallas–based Azteca Enterprises.
