The 37,000-sq-ft renovation and 18,000-sq-ft addition and upgrade to the Wellness, Education, Leisure, and Lifestyle (WELL) facility was designed to needed to relieve crowding due to an expanding student population and expand the range of services.

Tasked with the first design-build project undertaken by California’s Department of General Services, the project team was committed to make delivery of the new 374,000-sq-ft home for California’s Health and Human Services Agency as efficient as possible.

Built to address the healthcare needs of one of the fastest growing areas of California, the new five-story, 210,000-sq-ft medical office building, one-story pharmacy/lab pavilion and two-level parking garage were integrated into a busy 13-acre site.

The two-story WellBeing Center is designed to be the flagship building for Gilead Sciences’ Foster City campus while illustrating innovative approaches to construction.

The new three-story, 58,000-sq-ft addition to the existing medical facility provides 40 beds in all-private patient rooms, two operating rooms, an endoscopy and gastroenterology room, 20 intensive care unit beds, and 11 post-anesthesia care unit bays.

The 18,000-sq-ft facility is the first of its kind to serve both a busy international airport and the adjacent residential community.

The reconstruction of the 25-gate, 620,000-sq-ft concourse features open gate lounges, concessions, dining spaces, and a special museum exhibit, all enhanced with work from local artists.
