The joint venture design-build team of Clark Construction Group and McCarthy Building Companies has topped out the 500,000-sf Naval Replacement Hospital project at Camp Pendleton, having erected more than 4,000 tons of structural steel to reach the milestone. When complete in early 2014, the $394 million, multilevel hospital will encompass inpatient medical facilities with 54 patient rooms accommodating up to 60 beds, ancillary departments, emergency care, primary care, specialty care clinics, and support spaces and facilities for non-ambulatory patients who require stays in excess of 24 hours.
The scope of construction work includes a central utilities plant; a 1,500-space, multi-level parking structure; surface parking; and site development. Clark/McCarthy’s contract also encompasses a planned modification to furnish and install the furniture, fixtures, and equipment necessary to support the facility’s function and enhance turnover of the hospital. The project team anticipates earning LEED Gold Certification. The facility was designed by HKS Architects of Los Angeles. Additional project partners include KPFF Consulting Engineers, structural engineer; TMAD Taylor and Gaines, mechanical engineer; Flores Lund Consultants, civil engineer; and sustainability consultant The EcoLogic Studio.
