Turner Construction won a $186 million contract to build a five-story patient care tower at Westchester Medical Center’s Valhalla, N.Y., campus, the contractor announced Oct. 9.
The structure will house an additional 96 hospital beds for patients requiring trauma, neuroscience, cardiology and general surgery care, while enhancing the training of medical residents and students.
All inpatient rooms will be private, the statement said, and ICU rooms will have windows to provide natural light to patients.
Ability to $195 million in bond financing approved by the Westchester County Local Development Corporation, the project will create 250 construction jobs and 127 full-time jobs at the completed facility, according to the release.
New York City-based Turner recently celebrated another healthcare construction milestone in New York State. In September, he announced the breakup of a $650 million renovation for Strong Memorial Hospital at the University of Rochester, where he works with Rochester-based Pike Construction Services.
On the Westchester project, construction will begin later this year, with the 162,000-square-foot facility opening in 2026.
