Lompoc Hospital
Lompoc, Calif.

The Lompoc Hospital, for which we are providing structural engineering services for architect NTD-Stichler, is structurally complete. The project consists of three single-story buildings constructed in two phases totaling 111,000-SF. The project includes the new replacement hospital housing 60 beds, a new outpatient facility and a new service yard structure. The two acute care buildings are steel framed with exterior metal stud cladding supported on spread footing foundations. The lateral force-resisting systems utilize special concentric braced steel frames. The service yard structure uses masonry and steel framed construction. Construction is scheduled to be completed in December 2009. The hospital will open to the public in March 2010.
