Sutter Davis Hospital Expansion

Sutter Davis Hospital Expansion | Davis, California

It's not every day a largescale construction project is completed under budget and ahead of schedule. DPR partnered with Sutter Health on the expansion of its Davis hospital, completing a 7,364-sq.-ft. renovation and a 20,790-sq.-ft. expansion to the emergency department, family birthing center and medical-surgical unit.

Emergency Department Expansion

The newly renovated and expanded emergency department consists of additional triage/flex spaces and treatment areas. Unique to Sutter Davis was the addition of four rooms dedicated to mental health patients. Other additions included a negative pressure room and an extra care area for staff to have private consultations with family members.

Family Birthing Center 

The addition of three labor and delivery rooms, four postpartum recovery suites, two special procedure/delivery rooms and three tubs to their water birthing program, Sutter Davis has continued to be a sought-after institution for families.

Medical-Surgical Unit & Support Spaces 

The 2,485-sq-ft. remodel of the existing second floor medical-surgical unit added five new beds designed for patients to heal and recover. The immediate need for these beds was so great, the project team reworked the schedule to complete the renovation due to an influx of patients from the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Other important features of Sutter Davis Hospital’s expansion include an MRI trailer with a bed lift and an emergency medical service landing site to help support transportation of critical care patients. 

Integrated Project Delivery

Working within an existing operational hospital while minimizing disruption to patients & staff required enhanced planning and a design-to-build approach. The team worked in an Integrated Project Delivery to design, plan and execute a project that met program, schedule and budget, establishing a high trust working relationship.
