Designed to meet the state’s requirements for seismic safety, the project will replace a 120-bed acute care facility with a state-of-the-art facility at Ventura County Medical Center (VCMC). Upon completion, the new wing will support numerous medical services, including emergency, surgery obstetrics, ICU, NICU, PICU, and imaging.
In addition to the medical scope of work, the project also includes the addition of a new central utility plant and loading dock to the VCMC campus.
Aspiring for LEED for Healthcare Silver certification, the hospital design includes green roofs, a healing and viewing garden, skylights, exterior canopies and screens. The other green features of the project include a pediatrics play area that will enhance the facility’s healing environment.
Construction on the project will start in May 2013 and the hospital is expected to be complete in 2017.
