Overview

Located in Sacramento, California, this 255,000-square-foot, 4-story outpatient surgery center was designed to accommodate 24-hour patient stays and expand the University of California (UC) Davis Health's surgical capabilities.

The facility includes 14 operating rooms, 2 moderate sedation operating rooms, and 4 interventional radiology procedure rooms. It also houses pre-operative and post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) spaces, diagnostic imaging, an outpatient pharmacy, and general support services, all designed to meet Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) 3 compliance standards.

Our Approach

We provided full installation and startup of the plumbing and medical gas systems across the facility. Due to an accelerated schedule and a progressive design-build delivery method, construction planning and trade coordination were critical to the project's success.

We utilized prefabrication extensively to support the timeline and reduce onsite labor, including:

Modular sink carriers installed during framing to shorten in-wall piping duration
Prefabricated medical gas and domestic water pipe racks to minimize field joints
Preassembled finish fixtures and cast-iron drainage systems

In collaboration with the general contractor and trade partners, our team worked within a highly coordinated Big Room environment to identify and resolve issues early, driving speed and clarity across disciplines.
