Loma Linda University Health New Chiller Plant Project, Loma Linda CA

$14.5 Million OSHPD central plant upgrade project.  This project consists of the construction of a new 5,200 SF facility that will house (4) 1,600 chillers, pumps, medium and low voltage gear and cooling towers.  This project will provide additional cooling capacity to the ever expanding Loma Linda Hospital and Campus.

Riverside Community Hospital Bedtower and Renovation, Riverside CA

$225 Million OSHPD project that includes the construction of a new 282,000 SF 7 story bed tower addition and renovations of the hospitals imagining department and exterior entrance. The new bed tower project includes new Med Surge and ICU rooms, OR pre-op, a new laboratory, a new and dining and kitchen area, and a new central plant.  The interior renovations include multi-phased renovation of the imaging departments including (2) new angio procedure rooms, X-ray and other support spaces.


On this project I pioneered the development of a new cutting-edge technology to track worker production utilizing RTLS (Real Time Location Service) to collect data and monitor prefabrication production levels of bathroom pods.  This trial produced very compelling data to suggest improvements with production when prefabrication was implemented on a project.   The data that was captured included total time working, productive time spent at the work face, and distances traveled.  This data was represented on live dashboards to provide real-time feedback to the workers onsite.  Also, this data was then compared to the construction of a conventionally built hospital bathroom pod as a baseline comparison.  This technology approach was recognized and published in ENR, the WSJ at the CIFI summer seminar at Stanford University.

University of Colorado, Boulder CO - Campus Utility System

$73 million Central Plant and Utility Upgrade Project for the University of Colorado, Boulder.  This project is in part a response to a growing campus as well as a step towards the University's long term goal to reduce the campus overall carbon footprint.  The scope of this project consists of the construction of a new 70,000 sf East District Energy Plant, renovation and upgrades to the existing West District Energy Plant, and new piping and electrical infrastructure throughout campus.  In addition, an advanced campus wide SCADA control system is being utilized to control both plants (East & West) to help determine which plant or piece of equipment should be operated to help ensure the highest level of efficiency based on the University's energy demands.  This project is pursuing LEED Gold Certification.

University of Colorado, Boulder CO - Systems Biotechnology Building

$135 million 330,000 sf Biotechnology Lab for the University of Colorado, Boulder.  This project is the 1st large research complex on the University's East Campus.  The projects scope consisted of research labs, Vivarum, controlled environment rooms, collaboration spaces, teaching auditorium, and a new central plant.  This project encompasses many energy conservation measures such as exhaust heat recovery units, high efficiency air handling units (Evaporative Coil Sections), high efficiency chillers (VFD Drives), high efficiency boilers (Condensing Boilers), advanced lighting control, advanced HVAC control systems (Phoenix Controls), low flow fume hoods, and green materials.  This project achieved LEED Platinum Certification.






Center for Disease Control BSL 2 & 3 Labs, Fort Collins Colorado

$14 million 14,000 sf Bio Safety Level 2 and 3 Laboratory for the Center for Disease Control Fort Collins Campus.  The scope of this project consisted of the fit out of the 4th floor shell space with new laboratories (BSL 2 & 3), associated interstitial spaces, mechanical room, and office space. The project included the use of advanced biometric access control, Phoenix valves and control, fume hoods and bulk sterilizers.



Medical Center of Aurora, Aurora, Colorado

$53 million expansion project for the Medical Center of Aurora Hospital Campus.  The project scope consisted of a new 130,000 sf patient tower addition and ICU, expansion of the existing cath lab, construction of a new connector bridge, renovation/upgrades to the existing central utility plant, and a new 538 space free standing parking garage.
