Skanska completed the $242 million renovation and expansion of Lee Health’s Gulf Coast Medical Center in Fort Myers. The main portion of the project consisted of a three-floor vertical expansion that added 216 patient rooms on top of an existing bed tower and a new three-story tower with 52 intensive care unit rooms, a 16-bay dialysis suite and three new endoscopy and bronchoscopy procedure rooms. Skanska completed the project in a joint venture with Gates Construction and the design was led by architecture firm HKS Inc. The project comprised a 365,700-square-foot expansion and a renovation of 48,500 square feet of health care space. A 1,300-space parking garage also was built. The project was fully completed in late 2021, with 43 project phases delivered.
