US-based Hill International has been awarded a contract by Iraq’s Higher Education and Scientific Research Ministry to provide design management and construction management for a new teaching hospital in Baghdad.

The Al-Bayaa Teaching Hospital will cost about $210m to build and will contain 600 beds. The value of Hill’s three-year contract is estimated to be about $5.2m.

The hospital project is the latest of several contracts Hill has been awarded in Iraq in the past 12 months.

In December 2011, the US firm was awarded a ID3.8bn ($3.3m) contract to provide project management services for a new $100m stadium project in Iraq.

In addition to project management services, Hill will provide design review, site supervision and resident engineering services for the 30,000-seat Al-Anbar Olympic Stadium, which will be located in Al-Anbar, a Western province in Iraq.
