CALGARY – The Churchill Corp. (TSX:CUQ) said Wednesday that its subsidiary Stuart Olson Dominion Construction Ltd. has secured a construction manager contract for three hospitals in Alberta, valued at $421 million.
The project, awarded by Alberta Infrastructure, covers the planning, design and construction of the hospitals, which will be located in Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Edson, Alta.
“The robust macroeconomics of Western Canada are driving the need for new infrastructure and commercial development and Stuart Olson Dominion’s talented project teams are rising to the challenge,” said chief executive Jim Houck.
