The new three-story, 58,000-sq-ft addition to the existing medical facility provides 40 beds in all-private patient rooms, two operating rooms, an endoscopy and gastroenterology room, 20 intensive care unit beds, and 11 post-anesthesia care unit bays. The new addition will help the facility keep pace with the region’s growing demand for patient care services and provide space to pioneer new programs, technology, and innovations.
The building is the first California Department of Health Care Access and Information project to utilize a prefabricated, panelized exterior skin system that also features a higher-quality finish than more conventional lathe and plaster exteriors. Fully installed and weather-tight in just three weeks, the innovative exterior saved nearly $800,000 in construction and materials costs, and cut four months off the tight construction schedule.
