Best of 2006 Northern California This four-story, 122,000-sq.-ft. teaching and student services building will allow the School of Medicine to address several long-standing space deficiencies that are making it increasingly difficult for the School of Medicine to fulfill its core education mission. It provides space for expanded library and teaching facilities, including classrooms, lecture halls, clinical skills training and assessment facilities, computer labs, and small- and medium-sized multipurpose conference/teaching rooms. It also provides office space for the Dean of the School of Medicine and a variety of student support services (admissions, records, financial aid, lockers, lounge space and a small food service). The fourth floor is shelled for the present and will later accommodate other educational and research programs. Due to funding and other issues at the university level, the preconstruction phase took several months longer than anticipated yet the end date and the need for the school to open in fall 2006 could not be moved out. Although a building of UC Davis Health System Education Building, Davis this detail and complexity should be an 18-month project, Sundt Construction, the general contractor, is on track for a 15month completion. To compress the schedule, Sundt staggered the bidding. Sundt phased the structural steel and precast panel bidding three months prior to the completion of the design in order to get these two very long lead items under contract as soon as possible. This enabled the structural steel to arrive on time and finish only five months after construction began. Through re-sequencing and stacking some of the trades, with the permission of the university, Sundt even absorbed other schedule impacts during that fivemonth period, including unforeseen leaded soil conditions and heavier than normal rains in May of 2005. Though the project is not seeking LEED certification, green design elements include a reflective roof, auto sensor water controls, energy efficient glazing, low-emitting interior materials and a large amount of daylighting.
