Lusardi Tower

Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas began construction on the new acute care Lusardi Tower and Lusardi Pulmonary Institute in June of this year . The $ 263 million project represents the final phase of a multi-phase expansion ( Phase 1 included the Leichtag Foundation Critical Care Pavilion , completed in 2016 ). The project comprises a 224,000 SF building with a full basement and 64 new med surge / ICU patient beds . Other major departments include six operating rooms , radiology ( IR , Cath lab , MRI , Spec CT ), med surg , PACU , kitchen / cafeteria , pharmacy , clinical laboratory , and sterile processing . The tower will open by 2025 , taking the hospital to over 230 patient beds .

The project consists of multiple construction phases and increments to minimize the impact on the existing acute care facilities on the campus . Multiple make-ready projects were required to house impacted staff and operations before demolition .

P2S provided mechanical , electrical , plumbing , low voltage , energy modeling , fire alarm & fire sprinkler engineering services for the Lusardi Tower . We also designed an expansion of the existing Central Energy Plant at the Leichtag Foundation Critical Care Pavilion , a new receiving dock . We also coordinated the phased demolition of existing buildings 1,2,3,4,6,7 & 8 at the hospital campus .
