The project includes a new hospital tower with a total square footage of 450,000 sf housing 248 beds; a 6,000 sf expansion to the central plant with interconnecting utility tunnels; a remodeling of the existing North Addition; and a 600 car parking structure. The project replaces the existing hospital to achieve Senate Bill 1953 compliance. Occupancy is estimated to be in April 2009.

The 250,000sf expansion consists of a new professional office building and elevated plaza with underground parking. The six-story steel medical office building is a moment-frame system to maximize user flexibility, while the barrel vaulted wellness center has innovated zipper configuration of braced frames and bar joists to aesthetically and economically support lateral and gravity loads. The plaza structure uses pre-stressed concrete to efficiently support heavy loads over long spans associated with supporting a public park.

The Lompoc Hospital project consists of three single story buildings constructed in two phases totaling approximately 111,000sf. The project scope includes the new Replacement Hospital housing 60 beds, a new Outpatient Facility, and a new Service Yard structure. The two acute care buildings are steel framed structures with exterior metal stud cladding supported on spread footing foundations. The lateral force resisting systems utilize special concentric braced steel frames. The service yard structure uses masonry and steel framed construction.

Six-story steel nursing tower design, followed by: new radiology department, outpatient surgery, catheterization lab, special procedure section, kitchen, ambulance entrance, emergency department and obstetrics department remodel.
$100M construction cost

The project scope included 285,000 gsf of new construction and 91,000 gsf of remodel work to the hospital. To accomplish the goal of centralizing the County's Health Services from two sites, the scope involved a new central plant; a new three-story outpatient clinic building; a nursing wing offering acute psychiatric care, long term care, geriatric/psychiatric care, and med/surg nursing unit; an addition of a diagnostics and treatment building; and an existing hospital renovation into dietary and administration services.
$120M construction cost

Three-phase expansion including three 4 and 5-story concrete nursing towers and clinics along with a single-story steel framed boiler plant. Subsequently, DASSE designed an MRI suite, radiology, labor and delivery rooms, skilled nursing units, admitting department, link structures, and catheterization laboratories.
$55M construction cost

Two story subterranean medical research laboratory, 26,000 gsf, with installation of a seven Tesla magnetic resonance imager and a cyclotron imager. Supporting laboratories and office spaces are provided for medical research staff. The subterranean building is constructed with reinforced concrete (suspended slabs, columns and walls) and has 35 foot tall retaining walls supported on permanent tie-back anchors. An open two story light court allows natural light to permeate the building. A drive isle entry crosses the landscaped podium roof of the building and allows patients, deliveries, and emergency support vehicles access to the facility and to the existing Lucas Center building.
$20M construction cost

Two-story 48,000 gsf, steel frame structure housing surgery and operating rooms, ICU, radiology, kitchen/dining, and patient rooms with 30 beds plus central plant. Interconnecting to existing hospital with enclosed link. Archaeological findings required careful placement of foundations and limits to sitework and excavation.
$9.5M total construction cost

This project includes a new five-story heart center tower, plus basement, with a total square footage of 170,000gsf housing 191 beds with a central plant located in the basement; a 17,470sf expansion to the existing 3-story parking structure consisting of a concrete composite deck over steel beams and girders; a 147-car surface parking lot and a remodeling of the existing North wing, existing south wing and other areas of the hospital.

The new heart center will replace the existing South wing and East wing, which were rated as SPC-1 category under SB1953. The seismic resisting system of this heart center employs the “state-of-the-art” buckling-restrained braced frames supported on concrete augered cast-in-place pile foundations.
$103M construction cost

This three-story, 300,000 sf structure houses several catheterization labs, ICU, CCU and the emergency department of the hospital. The building consists of a structural steel moment frame supported on a base isolation system.
$150M construction cost

3-story, 73,000 gsf steel framed eccentrically braced medical office building. Project includes 1 floor of below grade construction housing a radiology department, with a linear accelerator vault and a shielded room for MRI construction.
