The design-assist Kaiser Permanente Springfield Replacement Medical Office Building (MOB) project included extensive preconstruction services and the demolition of an existing office building prior to construction of the new facility in its place. The existing nine-story office building sat on a tight, urban site and was demolished to make room for the new facility. This site is located directly adjacent to the existing and operational Kaiser Permanente MOB, requiring TMK Construction to take special care during the construction of the new building.

The newly constructed 98,250 SF building accommodates Kaiser Permanente personnel from the existing office, while the old structure is demolished and converted into surface parking in a second phase. The new five-story medical office building includes three templated outpatient clinics, a retail pharmacy, vision essentials, a physical therapy area, imaging, a nurse’s clinic and a clinical lab.

The new office building is created from Kaiser Permanente’s Center of Excellence (COE) program template. This template is applied to Kaiser’s facilities nationwide. Each building follows the same base design with alternates or modifications applied depending on the specific needs of the facility. This allows Kaiser Permanente to create a familiar and consistent facility to their clients across all of their buildings. It also allows for efficient construction and processes during each facility’s construction.

The 2506 Samaritan Medical Office Building (MOB) and Parking Structure is a 60,000 SF, three-story medical office building supported by a two-and-a-half level, 252-stall parking structure in San Jose, California. The project is an addition to the Samaritan campus, just down the road from the Stanford Cancer Care Center (core and shell) that TMK Construction completed in 2011. The project required careful coordination due to residential neighbors to the south as well as with the existing active medical buildings on the Samaritan campus.

The Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) Level 5 Buildout encompasses the renovation of the fifth floor in an active hospital. The project features two different treatment wings with a total of 49 new patient beds: 24 stem cell treatment beds and 25 pediatric oncology beds. The two wings of the fifth floor are connected by a whimsical lobby that continues the hospital’s nature theme and features a central “tree” with carved, wooden bears and other mountain animals. Working closely with the architectural team, TMK Construction helped bring the charming vision to life, with incredible craftsmanship shown in many details throughout the space.

The nature of the immunosuppressed patients requires isolation and anteroom functions, and the floor also includes a minor procedure room to support biopsies and chemotherapy infusion. Other specialty spaces include a compounding pharmacy, playrooms for children and families and new waiting areas.

Make-ready work for the Level 5 Buildout included the installation of a new AHU 120 on the roof above the Stem Cell Unit wing and the installation of new floor penetrating utilities and relocation of utilities that were going to impact the approved design for Level 5 or impact patient services on lower floors.

The City of Hope Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center is part of the comprehensive cancer campus currently being developed in partnership with FivePoint, an owner and developer of large mixed-use, master-planned communities in California. TMK Construction and ZGF converted an existing 191,000 SF, four-story commercial office building into an outpatient cancer clinic equipped to provide a highly flexible and adaptable patient- and family-centric environment that promotes healing through biophilic design. The primary services of this center are subspecialty cancer exams and treatment, a research center and ambulatory surgery.

TMK Construction also built the three-story, 346,000 SF associated North Parking Structure and is currently building the City of Hope Orange County Hospital on the 11-acre cancer campus, which is anticipated to finish in the Summer of 2025.

This history-making temporary COVID-19 testing facility was completed in two months. Six TMK Construction offices combined efforts, including Southern California, Northern California, Pacific Northwest, Plains, Western and TMK Construction Services, to design, demolish and procure this project for the Department of General Services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order to help California build out its laboratory capabilities and expedited efforts by the Department of General Services and the Department of Public Health to increase the state’s COVID-19 testing capacity. The new COVID testing facility was originally contracted to process 100,000 COVID-19 tests per day. However, on the first day of the project, California Governor Gavin Newsom released a public statement saying the test facility would be able to process up to 150,000 COVID-19 diagnostic tests a day, with a contractual turnaround time of 24-48 hours. The project team, originally slated to design a facility for 100,000 daily tests, was able to add an additional 50% capacity for only 10% more of the contract value.

The testing laboratory, built in conjunction with major diagnostics company PerkinElmer, began processing tests in November of 2020 and was at full capacity of 150,000 tests in early 2021. The new laboratory reduced the State of California’s turnaround time for COVID-19 tests and created hundreds of new California jobs. The project was constructed on budget and schedule.

The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Oral Health Clinic is a $12,000,000 renovation project within an existing facility. This 40,000 SF project facilitates the start of the first dental school program within the Texas Tech University System. This project consists of 145 dental operatories with state-of-the-art dental equipment, support spaces for faculty and staff, central sterilization/clean rooms and administrative support spaces for clinical staff. TMK Construction installed both a Watts One Flow water treatment system and a Chem Aqua RO water system to support the sterilization and decontamination areas.

Construction for this project took place inside an existing warehouse that was re-skinned and partially renovated under a separate contract. The facility will house the dental clinic for the next 5-10 years. After that time, the university plans to build a dedicated facility for the dental school, and ultimately repurpose this building. Based on this premise, all design decisions were made according to future planning.

The Grandview Medical Office Building project entailed two projects: the core and shell and the tenant improvement (TI) with repeat client, UCHealth, as the primary tenant. The core and shell part of the project consisted of building a 65,000 SF, three-story medical office building on a seven-acre site with two stairwells, a central elevator core area with two hydraulic elevators, electrical rooms, IT rooms and restrooms. The structure was a conventional build consisting of caissons with pier caps, slab-on-grade, steel structure with composite concrete and metal deck. The sitework included 338 parking spaces, ADA parking spaces, bicycle racks, snowmelt system, irrigation, landscaping, retention pond and a 25-foot-high retaining wall.

The 40,990 SF TI project constructed five clinic spaces that were built-out within the medical office building’s core and shell space. Each space specialized in a different type of care including: imaging, orthopedics, primary care, multi-specialty and rehabilitation space.
