HONORABLE MENTION<br />
KEVIN TURNER<br />
power plant<br />
takes center stage<br />
Central plants are the hot trend in commercial architecture.<br />
Traditionally an afterthought design-wise on healthcare,<br />
university, corporate, and city campus developments,<br />
power plants are being designed as showcase buildings with fanciful<br />
façades, daring forms, and prominent locations—anything but<br />
the 100% utilitarian structures of the past.<br />
The latest example is the new central utility plant that serves the<br />
$860 million, 245-bed UC San Diego Jacobs Medical Center. Since<br />
the 40,000-sf plant would be visible to staff, patients, and visitors<br />
in the 10-story medical center, the <strong>Building</strong> Team developed an undulating<br />
roof and façade scheme that masks the plant’s mechanical<br />
infrastructure and helps the facility blend in with the vegetated canyon<br />
beyond. Its fl oor-to-ceiling glass, earth tones, and sweeping<br />
curves—formed using metal battens coated with a color-changing<br />
paint—add visual appeal to the campus.<br />
The LEED Gold plant can expand as the campus grows, with a<br />
capacity to serve one million sf of expansion.<br />
