UC SAN DIEGO HEALTH SERVICES AWARDS OUTPATIENT PAVILION CONTRACT TO RUDOLPH AND SLETTEN
Respected general contractors Rudolph and Sletten awarded a $78 million construction contract for the new 145,000 sf, LEED silver building.
Rudolph and Sletten Inc. has been awarded a preliminary contract to begin work on the new Outpatient Pavilion for UC San Diego Health Services. The $78 million construction contract is expected to be booked in the third quarter of 2015.
The 145,000-square-foot building will be built on a 3.5-acre site on UCSD’s East Campus, between the Perlman Ambulatory Care Unit and the Moores Cancer Center east of Interstate 5, said Rick Guinn, senior project executive. The four-story structure will have one story fully-to partially below grade with a connection to the adjacent Perlman facility.
Planned to consolidate and centralize outpatient surgical services, the pavilion will also provide support services for the nearby Jacobs Medical Center. Programs at the newest addition to the UCSD health complex will include ambulatory surgery, outpatient imaging, physical and occupational therapy, rehabilitation, pharmacy, and disease-specific centers for pain, urology, musculoskeletal, breast, apheresis and stem cell treatments.

“We are excited to expand our relationship with UCSD in helping them to transform the East Campus,” Guinn said, noting Rudolph and Sletten’s role as general contractor for the nearby UCSD’s Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute (CTRI). That $170 million, seven-story project, where researchers will advance scientific knowledge and translate it to medical application, is under construction southwest of the planned Outpatient Pavilion.
CO Architects of Los Angeles has designed the planned outpatient center with two wings connected by a public spine and linked by a grand interior stairway. It’s anticipated that a portion of the public spaces will be naturally ventilated. A skylit atrium will bring daylight deep into 3 floors of the structure enhancing the surroundings for patient and staff while also reducing lighting and energy loads for the project, which is targeting a minimum rating of LEED Silver as well as outperforming energy requirements by 20 percent.
