The Central Florida Health Alliance in Leesburg, and Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa announced they would build two new cancer care facilities, one at Leesburg Regional Medical Center and the other at The Villages, also in Lake County.

Skanska is providing preconstruction services to UNC Hospitals for its new $140-million Hillsborough Hospital and medical office building. The company expects to start work later this year on a central energy plant for Rex UNC Heathcare, the first project in a $123-million construction and renovation program at the Raleigh, N.C., hospital.

In September, the Veterans Administration awarded the final $260.3-million contract for construction of its 134-bed Orlando VA Medical Center to Brasfield & Gorrie of Lake Mary, Fla.

The $665-million, 65-acre campus also includes an outpatient clinic, which Brasfield & Gorrie will build out; a parking garage and warehouse, also being constructed by Brasfield & Gorrie; a central energy plant by James A Cummings of Celebration, Fla.; and a 120-bed nursing home and a 60-bed domiciliary, under construction by Turner. The entire project is scheduled for completion in 2012.
