Progress as of January 3, 2013

The massive $1.2 billion LSU University Medical Center (UMC) complex project in New Orleans is situated on 34 acres on a square bounded by Canal Street, South Galvez, Tulane Avenue and South Claiborne Avenue. The facility will be the focal point of a biomedical district designed to attract the world’s top medical professionals while delivering high quality health care, advanced research and Level One trauma care.

Heading up the earthwork and utility installation is Bridge City, LA-based Beverly Construction, which is subcontracting to Swedish giant Skanska, the general contractor for the project. The value for Beverly’s part of the UMC project is about $25 million, which includes both the site package and onsite utilities.
