Mills-Peninsula Medical Center
Burlingame, California

The six-story, 450,000 square foot acute care hospital provides 241 beds, all in private rooms. It was designed as a "technology-ready" facility with electronic patient charting and Internet-based capabilities for advanced communication among patients, their families and physicians. The project also includes a 180,000 square foot medical office building with 84,000 square feet for specialty physician offices, a central utility plant, and a 750-car parking garage. A 150- to 200-bed skilled nursing facility is planned for a later phase. The hospital is being designed to achieve LEED certification. R&C provided structural engineering, including using Building Information Modeling for clash detection.

The Mills-Peninsula project recently won SEAONC's Excellence in Structural Engineering award.
