OAKLAND, CA-DPR Construction broke ground on the new Alta Bates Summit Medical Center Patient Care Pavilion for Sutter Health here. The 230,000-square-foot Patient Care Pavilion will house 238 medical/surgical and acute rehabilitation beds when completed in early 2014.
Located at 350 Hawthorne Ave., the new building consists of an 11-story patient care tower and rooftop central utility plant—all being built on a 1.5-acre site in the middle of the urban hospital campus. The pavilion will rise to approximately 184 feet above ground, with two stories built below ground, and cost approximately $244 million.
The new facility will be attached to existing hospital buildings, which will remain fully operational throughout the project, on three sides and seven different floors. The entire project, with a total cost of $350 million, also includes a new Emergency Department, a 1,000-space parking structure and additional green space.
According to DPR project manager Jay Widdifield, at the height of construction, approximately 270 people will be working on the new hospital expansion over the next three years. DPR is also building the $320 million Sutter Medical Center Castro Valley in nearby Castro Valley, CA, which broke ground in July 2009 and is scheduled for completion in January 2013.
