PORTFOLIO
REPLACEMENT HOSPITAL AND CENTRAL UTILITY PLANT REDWOOD CITY, CA
Our design team is providing medical planning and interior design for the Replacement Hospital and full architectural design services for the Central Utility Plant for a major healthcare organization. Replacement Hospital Our design team worked closely with the client and end users to integrate the interior design and furniture selection for CT Scanner and clinical technology areas, Physical Medicine, Inpatient Neuro CCU, Acute Care and Interventional Radiology, Inpatient Rehabilitation, Neurology, and Health Information Management departments into the new, 280,665 gsf hospital, which is being designed by HOK San Francisco. Central Utility Plant Polytech Associates is serving as Architect-of-Record for the 16,000 sf Central Utility Plant, which will supply all utilities to the new hospital and house the Facilities Services Department. The site area for the building is restricted by the adjacent access roadway, new replacement hospital and adjacent office building and parking garage. The restricted site required a modification of client standards, reduction of the building area and a two-story design. The exterior of the building uses an insulated metal panel and glazing system with a metal rooftop screen for mechanical equipment. The exterior materials, colors and details were required to be compatible with the new hospital and accommodated the Redwood City Design Review requirements within the client’s cost model. Relevant Project Features • Central Utility Plant: Architect-of-Record for 16,000 sf facility • Replacement Hospital: Furniture, finishes, and equipment coordination for 280,665 gsf hospital • Building Information Modeling (BIM) using Revit
SOUTH OF MARKET HEALTH CENTER SAN FRANCISCO, CA
South of Market Health Center (SMHC) is a nonprofit community clinic providing quality healthcare to under-served members of this San Francisco neighborhood. Accepting the position of Executive Director in 1990, Charles Range has led SMHC with the philosophy that all people deserve the same high level of health care. With the support of key community stakeholders, Mr. Range set his vision to construct a new community clinic that elevates the health care delivery experience for all: patient, caregiver and staff member. The state-of-the-art medical center has allowed SMHC to double the number of patients it serves and meet the growing demand for primary and family health services. The new 20,000 sf space includes a full-service patient and community pharmacy, and treatment spaces for primary care, women’s and children’s services, health education, podiatry, and urgent care. Working in association with Daniel Solomon Design Partners, Polytech Associates helped coordinate complex site issues that included a high water table and contaminated water. We also developed massing studies for the clinic, and aided in materials selection for the exterior. The design program combines modern, clean lines with a light color palette, rich textures, and an open space plan that allows natural light to punctuate the space. Each of these design elements was carefully selected, and lend an element of comfort and calm to the building. The open plan allows SMHC the flexibility to increase the number of patients and services they provide. Relevant Project Features • Developer: South of Market Health Center • 20,000 sf new medical office building and below-grade parking • Interior architecture and interior design • Treatment Areas: Womens and Children’s Services, Health Education, Adult Medicine, Urgent Care, Retail Pharmacy
2425 GEARY BOULEVARD, SEISMIC RENOVATION AND EXPANSION SAN FRANCISCO, CA
Kaiser Permanente recommended that Polytech Associates assume responsibility for the seismic upgrade and expansion for their hospital at 2425 Geary Boulevard after the original architect closed their local office. Twelve years had passed since the design program was approved, and significant changes in technology, user needs, and best practices that Kaiser adopted as part of their delivery system had not been incorporated into the program. The hospital is located in an OSHPD One area, and the portion of the project that had been approved by the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development had lapsed. Polytech was retained to create the updates to the design program that would meet patient and caregiver needs, and allow Kaiser to incorporate technological advances and best practices into their delivery system. After examining and integrating updates to the design program, our team successfully led the project through the OSHPD approval process. We then worked closely with Kaiser to create a phased implementation plan that allowed the hospital to remain in-operation during construction, with no unplanned shutdowns. Over the three-year process, Polytech helped expand the hospital to 360,000 sf, and increased the total bed count to 323. Following the successful completion of the seismic upgrade and expansion, our design team has continued to provide remodel programs, renovations, and upgrades for various departments throughout the hospital.

395 HICKEY BOULEVARD DALY CITY, CA
Project Description 395 Hickey Boulevard was originally conceived by a developer as a commercial office space, and was leased by major healthcare organization to become a medical office building to better serve their members in Daly City. However, the horizontal space plan was not conducive to the needs of a healthcare provider so the client selected Polytech Associates to provide a master plan, program, and interior architecture program for the 140,000 sf building that would meet the functional needs of their members, caregivers,and administrators. The new program integrates space for seventy-two providers, offices, cafe, conference center, training rooms, and two pharmacies on six levels. Our design team created a separate Teen Clinic, giving this population a more private area for waiting and examination. The medical office building also features four levels of sub-level parking. The modular space plan provides maximum flexibility to accommodate for future changes in service and growth in membership. Departments can be expanded as needed, and waiting areas and group work areas are located at the perimeter of the floors for ease of movement, and to take advantage of views and natural light. Relevant Project Features • Developer: Confidential • Master plan, programming, and interior architecture • 140,000 sf medical office building and four levels of sub-level parking • Treatment areas: Opthalmology/Optometry, Mammography, Pediatrics, Primary Care/ General Medicine, OB/GYN, and Health Education
