“We sincerely thank Helse Sør-Øst for their trust. Veidekke has completed a number of major hospital projects in recent years, and we now look forward to working with Helse Sør-Øst’s project organization with the goal of entering into a final construction contract in about a year,” says Erik Økland, Director at Veidekke Building Oslo.
The New Aker will become one of Norway’s largest local hospitals with emergency functions and co-location of somatic care, mental health services, and interdisciplinary specialized addiction treatment. Veidekke’s contract covers PHA South, the largest of three buildings for mental health and addiction at the New Aker Hospital. PHA South will comprise 27,000 m² with a psychiatric emergency department, 164 inpatient treatment beds, outpatient treatment rooms, offices, meeting rooms, and research areas. The project also includes activity areas such as a gym, outdoor spaces, rooftop gardens, atriums, and a park connected to the building.
Planned construction start is summer 2027, with completion in autumn 2030.
The contract will be included in Veidekke’s order backlog at the start of construction.
