MINNEAPOLIS (April, 29) - Allina Health is pleased to announce the organization’s selection of Mortenson as the General Contractor to build a new Surgical and Critical Care Pavilion on the Abbott Northwestern Hospital campus in Minneapolis.
The 10-story, approximately 500,000 square foot building will be constructed in the middle of the hospital campus and will replace the hospital’s existing operating rooms and create new care environments for patients, visitors and staff. The new building will be LEED certified in alignment with Allina Health’s commitment to environmental sustainability. Construction is expected to begin in late 2022 or early 2023.
“Allina Health has a long history partnering with Mortenson to build and bring much-needed assets into the communities we serve,” said Lisa Shannon, president and CEO of Allina Health. “Our two organizations are closely aligned in our commitment to the Minneapolis community and we are extremely excited to be partnering with Mortenson on a project of such magnitude.
