Provided the structural design of a new three-story, 150,000-sf surgery center and medical office building. The project included in-patient surgery, out-patient clinics as well as laboratory and pharmacy space. The seismic resisting system consisted of eccentric braced frames at both the perimeter and at interior locations. Constructed of concrete slab on grade, the ground floor hospital houses the dietary services and building support services. The hospital first floor, constructed of both concrete slab on grade and concrete over metal deck on steel framing, houses the administration and conference center, patient registration, cafe dining, public lobbies and waiting area, emergency department, cardio diagnosis, diagnostic imaging, and surgery suites. The second floor of the hospital is constructed of concrete over metal deck on steel framing and houses in-patient units including rehabilitation, and mission and spiritual care. The medical office building is constructed similarly to the hospital building, with concrete slab on grade and elevated floors of concrete over metal deck on structural steel framing.

Also prepared early bid packages for foundation and steel to meet the owner's aggressive schedule. While with another firm, Chris Thompson served as Principal-in-Charge.
