We're making significant progress on the 4th building at the Be Well OC Irvine Campus, which will house Adolescent and Mother/Child Residential Treatment programs. On Monday, our dedicated crew completed the first concrete pour, working tirelessly through the night from 1 AM - 6 AM to lay the foundation for the future of mental health care in Orange County. This project wouldn’t be possible without our incredible construction team and 100+ union laborers, who show up rain or shine, working around the clock to bring this vision to life. #BeWellOC #IrvineCampus Oltmans Construction Co.
