Skanska has been contracted to build a new cancer hospital at the University of
Florida's Gainesville campus. The contract totals USD 150 M, or approximately
SEK 1.035 billion, and will be included in order bookings for the third quarter
of 2007. The customer is Shands HealthCare at the University of Florida.

Parts of the project were initiated earlier this year and were included in
Skanska's order bookings, USD 30 M for the first quarter and USD 20 M for second
