UC Davis Children’s Hospital has gained major recognition becoming the first hospital on the West Coast and the fourth in the nation to earn verification as a Level I surgery center.

The Hospital has a new state-of-the-art facility, a two story, 33,000-square-foot space vastly larger than what they had. The new space has 6 operating rooms and a 24/7 center for pediatric surgery.

Rudolph and Sletten’s scope of work on the new surgery center included the 2nd-floor seismic compliance work including the build-out of a new waiting room, administration support offices, staff breakroom and other support services areas.

The 3rd-floor build-out includes six operating rooms, one special procedure room, 24 pre-op and recovery bays, and support spaces. The work also added a new air handling unit to the existing fourth-floor penthouse to support the new surgical spaces.

All construction activities occurred in the occupied hospital with careful coordination to minimize disruption to daily operations.
