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.
The 450,000-square-foot facility will feature 300 inpatient beds across ten floors and has been designed specifically around the needs of people with cancer and their families.
