McCarthy Building Companies has completed the $664-million Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla North Tower\u2014a state-of-the-art acute care facility designed to expand access to advanced, world-class healthcare across the region.<\/p>\n

The eight-floor, 39,019-m2<\/sup> (420,000-sf) tower is directly connected to the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute and includes 188 inpatient beds, a rooftop helistop, nine operating rooms, three interventional radiology suites, and expanded imaging, NICU, labor and delivery, and postpartum services.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The North Tower features California\u2019s first bolted side plate structural steel system approved by the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI)\u2014a method that significantly reduced welding time and labor. Its precast exterior panels accelerated the building enclosure schedule, while operational improvements enhance patient and staff flow.<\/p>\n

Additional project highlights include self-performed concrete, underground utility, and mapping work, as well as central energy plant upgrades with new chillers, cooling towers, and generators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
