McCarthy recently broke ground on Phase 1 of Kaiser Permanente’s Oakland Medical Center Replacement project.
Upon completion in 2009, the 165,000-square-foot Broadway Medical Office Building will house a variety of medical services, state-of-the-art cancer care center, labs and educational classrooms. The design of the medical office building provides a healthy workplace through maximized natural light and a PVC- and mercury-free environment. The site is designed to treat storm water flows and includes the restoration of Glen Echo Creek. During construction, McCarthy is implementing an active recycling program and is working to maximize participation by small, local, diverse and women-owned businesses. The entire replacement of Kaiser Permanente’s flagship medical facility is to be completed in three phases. The second phase will include demolition of the existing medical building center and construction of the replacement hospital, a specialty medical office building and the central utility plant. The demolition of the current hospital and construction of the administrative building will make up the third phase.
