University of Delaware health facility built on brownfield
Healthcare Design website posts photo tour of redevelopment project
The University of Delaware’s Health Sciences Complex was built on the site of a former automotive and U.S. military tank assembly plant in Newark. The challenges of using the brownfield site included inserting a vapor barrier and reusing a portion of the original assembly plant, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website.
These include plans to begin demolition of current structure and hospital site preparation in 2026 and open the outpatient center and ambulatory surgery center in 2027.
