Ratcliff and Blach Construction were selected as the winning Design/Build team for a new Student Wellness Center for San Jose State University. Conceived from one of the major architectural styles developed on campus and sited at the intersection of four campus quadrants, the building successfully melds outside and inside by establishing new gathering spaces with sensitive landscaping, façade design and material selections, all the while aligning planning and budget with campus integration as the ultimate goal. Through a series of collaborative user meetings and workshops, the team worked diligently to meet all program requirements. The new three-story facility delivers basic outpatient and primary care services to students. The interior, based on the concept of a pod planning model, provides private spaces for physicians and counselors and an open planning concept for support and administrative services. The project (including building and site development) met the requirements equivalent to a LEED Gold rating. Numerous sustainable principles were implemented, such as optimized energy performance, water-efficient landscaping and maximum use of daylight. The project team implemented Lean construction and IPD (Integrated Project Delivery) principles and was completed nine weeks ahead of schedule and within budget.
