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 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.
