The hospital will be dedicated to the treatment of patients with heart disease. The "patient tower" will house 127 rooms, including an intensive care unit.Â
Construction on the project has already begun and is due to be completed in March 2017.Â
Skanska recently said it expects to use 3D concrete printers on site "in 18 months".
