To achieve the 60,000 SF building allowable by campus entitlement, initial planning indicated that the project needed to be 3 stories. With Orthopedics taking up more than 50% of the buildings function, a separation of their spaces was going to have an extreme impact to the quality of care for the members.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

The team became focused on developing a solution that could deliver the highest quality of patient experience. To achieve this goal, the final solution was a 2-story building with a continuous floor dedicated to the Orthopedics department’s needs and their accessory functions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Submittal reviews, regular meetings and job walkthroughs were conducted by the contractor to guide the facilities team through all aspects of the project as it developed. This provided a thorough understanding of the drivers to design and allowed input\u00a0 to configurations ensuring maintainability and a smoothly integrated commissioning process. This project has since been repeatedly highlighted as a model example of project delivery.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

The use of prefabricated assemblies, a long term strategic goal of Kaiser, had a massive reduction in on-site cutting, waste and noise-based disruption which was extremely valuable at the center of a busy section of the medical center campus. Exterior wall panels, curtain wall solutions, and custom fabricated interior framing kits enhanced the project at a rapid rate.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
