A grand opening ceremony was held on Friday celebrating the completion of the new five-story, 465,000 square-foot Inspira Medical Center Mullica Hill here.

The project is the first hospital to open in 45 years in Gloucester County, NJ. Skanska USA constructed the new hospital with partners Array Architects and Leach Wallace Associates using the Integrated Project Delivery approach, which is Skanska’s largest IPD project to date in North America. The approach, which brings together the client, designer and builder to align stakeholders and streamline project execution, created approximately 400 local full-time jobs to the construction site.
The new hospital will provide inpatient hospital care with 210 private rooms, state-of-the-art surgical suites, a modern emergency department with dedicated pediatric and senior ERs, and a maternity center. The project also includes a new central utility plant and solar field, which provides electrical power, heating/hot water and chilled water to the facility.

In addition to the new hospital, Skanska is also building Inspira Health’s new Leading-Edge Cancer Center, which is scheduled to open in early 2020. An attached addition to the main hospital building, the new cancer center spans 120,000 square feet and will provided comprehensive cancer services all under one roof. The addition will also be home to several suites devoted to non-cancer-related clinical and office functions.
This is the third major hospital project for Skanska USA in the Delaware Valley in the last year. Skanska is also building the Women and Children’s Health Building for ChristianaCare in Newark, DE which is slated for completion in 2020, and a new inpatient hospital for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in King of Prussia, PA.
