As Structural Engineer of Record, Degenkolb Engineers is part of the Hensel Phelps and SmithGroupJJR / AVRP design-build team. The project includes a new 7-story, 197,000 sf, 138-bed patient tower with six OR’s, new kitchen, and dining on the roof. Levels 2 and 3 of the tower are designed with strict vibration criteria. The building is steel framed.

The project also features a concrete and steel Entry Building with a large cantilevered canopy, a new loading dock and materials management area with an extensive canopy system, and the NPC4 reclassification and renovation of the generator building.

Features:

138 private rooms for patients
Six Operating rooms including a hybrid OR.
Penthouse dining with panoramic ocean and mountain views of San Diego
Mat foundation with five foot utility chase below slab on grade

Benefits:

First new hospital in San Diego South Bay region in 40 years
Fast tracked design and construction
Vibration Design of OR floors and roofs
Very efficient steel tonnage for 7-story OSHPD tower, while still being able to provide a high performing system for vibration and seismic resistance.
