Award of Merit, Health Care: Sutter Health Eden Medical Center
Complying with state-mandated seismic deadlines, this seven-story, acute-care replacement hospital in Castro Valley is also the industry's first to use an 11-party integrated project delivery contract, in which the owner and 10 participants are contractually required to collaborate. The project was delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.
Substantially complete in October 2012, the $194-million Sutter Health Eden Medical Center includes private patient rooms that maximize daylighting; 30 universal care units; a level-2 trauma center; an MRI suite; seven operating rooms; two catheterization labs; and 24 emergency-room stations.
