Award of Merit - Health Care: UC Davis Health Rehabilitation Hospital
In addition to being Sacramento County’s first freestanding rehabilitation hospital, this 58,000-sq-ft facility more than doubles the inpatient rehabilitation capacity formerly available at UC Davis Medical Center.
Managing a tight budget and fast schedule was crucial in achieving the project’s March 2023 completion. To mitigate a large number of deferred approvals from the California Dept. of Health Care Access and Information, the team proactively started work on fabrication and installations. These deferrals also led the contractor to build the structure backward, focusing on interior build-out work like drywall production and installations ahead of exterior completion.
