Turner Selected to Build $300 Million Santa Clara Hospital

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Santa Clara selected Turner Construction Co. to manage construction of a $300 million replacement hospital for the Santa Clara Valley Health and Hospital System.

 

Construction of the 375,000-square-foot project is scheduled to begin this summer and be completed by 2012.

 

The proposed Level 1 Adult and Pediatric Trauma Center will include a 168-bed tower that will house a rehabilitation therapy center, aquatic therapy pools, support offices and a pharmacy.

 

Designers are targeting LEED Gold certification in the construction of the replacement hospital. Green features will include three green roofs to reduce surface water runoff and improve views from patient rooms, sustainably harvested wood building materials and highly insulated exterior walls designed to minimize heat loss and gain and improve patient and staff comfort.

 

A high percentage of construction waste will be recycled in building the tower while efficient water systems and low-VOCs materials are used for interior spaces.
