Kosair Charities Pediatrics First Floor Renovation

University of Louisville is seeking qualified contractors to perform a full interior renovation of the first floor of the former Kosair Charities Pediatric Center (KCPC). The work converts existing clinic and office space into a modern workplace for several divisions of the Department of Pediatrics.
