Connecting support
The 45,200 gross square feet Health System Education Resource Center is currently under construction between the Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center and the Lee Street Garage. Los Angeles-based CO Architects, alongside locally based Train & Partners Architects, designed the Education Resource Center as a connector to the cancer center, hospital and garage.
The new four-story building will provide space for graduate medical and patient education, much needed dedicated resident workspace, a relocated outpatient pharmacy and a new centrally-located outpatient imaging center. These functions are directly responsive to the Health System’s stated mission to provide excellence and innovation in the care of patients, the training of health professionals and the creation and sharing of health knowledge. Recent and ongoing activities include excavation and the installation of soldier pile shoring with timber lagging and drilled piers and micropiles for the foundation. The project — which is being managed by CC&R Facilities Management Project Director Joe Rainwater and Senior Construction Administration Manager Chris Pouncey — is scheduled to be complete in March 2017.
