DPR Construction

Scope Of Work

A DPR-led design-build team turned over a new 86,000-sq.-ft. medical office building (MOB) for Sharp Rees-Stealy (SRS) Medical Group in Santee, CA in late June of 2020, overcoming major permitting delays and pandemic-related design changes to complete the project on schedule.

Featuring an energy-efficient design by design-build architect Hanna Gabriel Wells, the three-story tilt-up facility consolidates several of SRS Medical Group’s smaller leased facilities and expands its medical services to eastern San Diego County. The facility offers primary and specialty care as well as lab, pharmacy, radiology, optical, physical therapy, and urgent care services.

The MOB incorporates a cutting-edge microgrid technology and harnesses solar panels, a battery storage system, diesel generator and microgrid controller to enhance operational efficiencies. The goal: to keep critical loads on line should power go out in an area where both electricity demand and risk of wildfire continue to rise.

The collaborative design-build team overcame a nearly four-month delay in late 2019 associated with permitting approval from the local utility company. In the face of that setback, DPR worked closely with key trade partners and held multiple pull planning sessions to identify areas for potential schedule savings to get the project back on track. The overall project completed on schedule and within budget while maintaining a strong safety record throughout.
