Eden Medical Center has awarded Skanska USA Building the pre-construction services and construction management contract for its new Castro Valley, Calif., complex. Once the project enters the construction phase, the anticipated construction value for the project is expected to be approximately $180 million. The complex is being built in four phases. Phase I consists of a new three-story, 60,000-sf ambulatory care center/medical office building, including four operating rooms, support space, and physician offices above a 250-stall parking garage. The first phase will be completed in 2006. Phase II includes an eight-story, 350,000-sf facility to replace the existing hospital.
The new hospital will feature a central utility plant; emergency department; endoscopy operating rooms; six advanced surgical units; a neurology hospital; a Women’s Center including labor, delivery, and recovery units, C-section operating rooms and post and ante-partum rooms; and a psychiatric unit. A new 18,000-sf central heating plant will also be completed as part of the second phase. In Phase III, the existing hospital will be demolished. Phase IV will involve landscaping and site circulation. Final completion is scheduled for 2010. The architects for the project are Ellerbe Beckett, Ratcliff, and the Systems Design Partnership. Eden Medical Center is a community-based not-for-profit affiliate of Sutter Health.
