California's General Acute-Care Hospital Seismic Retrofit Program (#SB1953) aims to enhance survivability during a seismic event that impacts a hospital’s life safety components, both structural and nonstructural, making hospital buildings the safest in the state. A 2019 study by the RAND Corporation, however, indicated that bringing all general acute-care hospitals in compliance could cost as much as $176 billion. Any #hospital building that fails to meet these upgrade deadlines will be forced to cease patient services. As patient care is vital to California’s population, Grant Gutenberg and Conor Clarke of OCMI, Inc. (O'Connor Construction Management) offer tips for navigating the cost uncertainties of meeting #HCAI seismic compliance. #seismiccompliance #hospitalfunding #hospitalrenovation #hospitalconstruction?

The final development phase for GBMC HealthCare's Sandra R. Berman Pavilion, is complete! The multidisciplinary cancer center offers a centralized location for patents seeking a variety of care, from imaging to wellness to pharmaceutical needs. The 70,000-square-foot #hospital was completed in late 2024 but opened in phases over the last few months to facilitate the relocation of services and staff. The pavilion houses the GBMC Sandra and Malcolm Berman Cancer Institute, which provides outpatient care including breast cancer, genetics, oncology, gynecology and infusion therapy. Congratulations to the design-build team of Hord Coplan Macht, DPR Construction and healthcare developer Hammes. #hospitalconstruction #hospitaldesign #healthcareconstruction
