Innovative all-electric design enables LEED Gold certification
BELLFLOWER, CA, USA
Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Radiation Oncology and Imaging Center
Salas O’Brien provided electrical and lighting design for the new specialty medical office building that features three linear accelerators, three MRI machines, a CT scan room, eight provider offices, and ten exam rooms.
We designed the all-electric, LEED Gold-certified cancer facility targeting net zero certification and utilizing only 7% of the solar photovoltaic capacity available on campus.
Unlike the traditional basement location for the linear accelerators, each is housed in a room with extensive natural lighting, color-changing mood lighting, and a green wall to provide an uplifting healing environment for cancer patients.
The high-performing design-build team delivered the project below budget and on schedule by collaborating closely and implementing Lean design and construction principles.
