Project description

The new Bridge Hospital, located in the Meilahti hospital area of the hospital district of Helsinki and Uusimaa, was completed in June 2022 and is the largest construction project in the history of HUS. Launched in 2017, the approximately EUR 300 million project was implemented as a collaborative project management contract, enabling simultaneous planning and construction – and a tight schedule.

In 2020, the Bridge Hospital received recognition at the international Tekla Global BIM Awards as the best public sector project.
