NCC is initiating a partnership with Region Gavleborg for the refurbishment and extension of Hus 60, the entry building to Gavle Hospital. The project is a turnkey contract in partnering form with an order value of approximately c. €37.6m.
Under the umbrella name Framtidsbygget, the hospitals in Hudiksvall and Gavle will be modernized in order to provide the best health and medical care also in the future. The refurbishment and extension of Hus 60, the entry building to Gavle Hospital, is now being initiated. The project will be the first construction project within the scope of Framtidsbygget in Gavle.
“I’m delighted that we can now start the construction work. This is a crucial investment in modern premises that will enable a good work environment for our employees as well as a safe and secure environment for our patients,” said John Dahlgren, construction project manager for Gastrikland, Region Gavleborg.
NCC’s assignment covers the new construction of six floors in an existing building, as well as a helipad on the roof. The refurbishment and extension of Hus 60 will make the premises more flexible, and better suited to modern medical care and future technological development. Additionally, the new helipad will improve conditions for transportation to and from the hospital. The construction of Hus 60 has been designed to meet the requirements for a Miljobyggnad Silver rating.
NCC is an expert at complex hospital construction and previous new constructions, refurbishments, and extensions completed by the company include Nykoping Hospital, Ryhov County Hospital in Jonkoping, Malar Hospital in Eskilstuna and Northern Alvsborg County Hospital.
“At NCC, there are many specialists in hospital construction, and we have solid collective experience from projects similar to our assignment at Gävle Hospital. Since we are working in partnership, we can contribute our competence right from the start and help to ensure that Gavle Hospital can meet future care needs,” said Henrik Landelius, Head of NCC Building Sweden.
Work will begin immediately and completion is expected in the summer of 2026. The hospital will be fully operational during the construction work.
