US-based KBR Building Group has announced that it will take up the expansion and renovation of Providence Hospital Northeast, which is located in Columbia S.C.
KBR will be responsible for renovating the main hospital building to a major extent and constructing a new MRI service, canopy and main entrance to the hospital. The present front lobby, post-anesthesia care unit and the central sterile processing area will be expanded.
