Sutter Hospital Medical Center Project

The Sutter Hospital Medical Center Project in Emeryville, California, involves the redevelopment of a project site into a comprehensive medical campus. The plan includes the construction of Building 8, an all-electric hospital of approximately 785,000 square feet with up to 325 beds and a helipad, and Building 1, which will be either a 55,600 square foot medical office building or a 129,500 square foot multi-family residential building with up to 133 units. The project also entails the improvement and conversion of existing buildings into medical office buildings, the retention of the Horton Street Garage for parking, and the demolition of the PDU Building and existing surface parking. The project build-out is expected to be phased over approximately ten years, beginning with two years of improvements to Building 2/3, followed by hospital construction lasting roughly 71 months, and subsequent work on Building 4 and Building 1. Key deliverables include a comprehensive Environmental Impact Report and a detailed transportation analysis covering 79 study intersections. The project must adhere to CEQA guidelines and ITE trip generation standards, while ensuring ADA compliance for pedestrian facilities and transit hubs. Environmental and safety requirements include analyzing hazardous materials contamination, managing the impact of pollutant releases on worker and public health, and coordinating emergency service access for fire and medical response.
