Hill International’s Support to Continue on Essentia Health’s $900M Vision Northland Medical Campus With New Task Order A...
February 24 2021 - 8:00AM
Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing
construction risk, announced today it was awarded a third task
order to provide owner’s representative services for the completion
of the clinical activation of Essentia Health’s medical campus in
downtown Duluth, MN. The project is expected to complete
construction in the first quarter of 2023 and open for patient care
by the third quarter of 2023. The $900 million “Vision Northland”
project involves building a replacement hospital for St. Mary’s
Medical Center and clinic space, as well as the renovation of
significant clinic spaces. As the Owner’s Representative, Hill is
not only providing leadership for the planning, design, and
construction of the campus, but also leadership and oversight for
the planning and procurement of medical equipment, commissioning,
and activation planning. In total, the project will deliver
approximately 942,000 SF of new facilities and a substantial amount
of renovated facilities. Ultimately, the project will provide
state-of-the-art medical facilities to meet the needs of patients
and their families from across northern Minnesota and Wisconsin,
and beyond.
Hill has been supporting the program since 2019,
when the team came aboard to identify areas of greatest cost
impact. Since this initial work, Essentia has retained Hill to
provide owner’s representative and project management services
throughout construction.
Hill Senior Vice President and Regional Manager
Vic Spinabelli, PE, LEED AP, said of the award, “[Program Director]
Steve Catts and his team have done an outstanding job adding value
to the Vision Northland program, which I think this new award
demonstrates. We view our role as being good stewards for Essentia
and appreciate the trust they have placed in Hill to help deliver
this project as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.”
“Hill’s success in managing major healthcare
programs is well-known around the world, and I am pleased to see
our team continue this trend on the Vision Northland Program,” said
Hill International Chief Executive Officer Raouf Ghali. “Our
company’s program management best practices have benefited Essentia
through the earlier phases of Vision Northland and I am certain
they will continue to impress.”
