The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) is redeveloping the 1.1 million gross-square-foot canyon-side medical campus that has aging buildings and infrastructure, as well as the need for seismic upgrades mandated by SB1953. This +$2B mixed-use redevelopment project will include a new hospital, demolition of the old hospital and support facilities, multi-family housing, parking structures, ground floor commercial and retail spaces, open spaces, and a new pedestrian-oriented streetscape.
Group Delta, an NV5 Company, is currently providing a design geotechnical investigation with environmental sampling and testing for Phase 1 of this project. Phase 1 will include demolition of the existing parking lots, buildings, and surface improvements throughout the site, and the construction of three multi-story medical buildings with up to three underground parking levels. The structures will be of reinforced concrete construction, with concrete subterranean parking garage walls and slabs-on-grade supported by conventional reinforced concrete spread foundations.
Added Value
- Geotechnical & Environmental Design Support: Our team is conducting design-phase geotechnical investigations and environmental sampling/testing for Phase 1 of a +$2B medical campus redevelopment.
- Foundation Planning for Complex Structures: Our team is supporting the design of three multi-story medical buildings with up to three levels of underground parking, using conventional reinforced concrete spread foundations.
- Seismic-Ready Redevelopment: Our team is assisting in the transformation of aging infrastructure to meet seismic upgrade mandates under SB1953, ensuring long-term safety and resilience.
