Best Health Care Project: Nemours/Alfred I. DuPont Hospital For Children Expansion
The Nemours expansion project is a six-story, 423,000-sq-ft freestanding pediatric bed tower, designed to focus on enhancing the health care experience for patients and their families. The $233.6-million project was constructed in 38 months, during some of the worst weather in Delaware history, including torrential rain, heavy snow and record cold temperatures.
The facility includes 144 patient rooms, a shelled floor for 44 more rooms, an emergency and imaging department, food service and dining and a five-story atrium with retail space.
