Faced with a combination of recalcitrant sub-contractors and a rapidly shrinking construction schedule, the Facilities staff at U.C. Davis Medical Center turned to Hohbach-Lewin to provide seismic bracing solutions and to obtain OSHPD approvals for all suspended mechanical and HVAC systems, as well as anchorage of all medical equipment in this new 900,000 square foot thirteen-story facility.
80,000 square foot, four-story steel framed medical office building includes ambulatory surgery facilities that opened in the fall of 2007. The structural system was designed to include a future fourth floor build-out.
The project was designed to LEED “Silver” certification standards and received the Mayor's first bold step toward the Sustainability Award.
Hohbach-Lewin Inc analyzed the existing concrete buildings on this campus to determine their seismic resisting capabilities as required by SB1953.
Hohbach-Lewin has completed multiple projects at the Stanford University Medical Center, many involving the remodel of suites within the existing buildings. Services included the careful reconnaissance of existing conditions, detailed drawings with supporting calculations of structural modifications to the existing buildings and bracing and anchorage of medical equipment and gaining OSHPD approval.
