Extensive tenant improvements were performed within 15,869 square feet of space in a life science research and development building. Located on the third floor of a 31,407-square-foot building, with an occupied lab floor below, the space now features a laboratory suite, private offices, conference rooms, collaboration rooms, a breakroom, and a reception area. Work included: lab casework, fume hood, cold room, and building automation as well as high-end architectural finishes in the lab support offices, conference rooms, break room, and reception area.

To support the new spaces, the electrical system was upgraded. This included new automatic transfer switches, emergency, and normal power distribution as well as low-voltage systems, extensive arc flash studies, and third-party testing. The associated mechanical and plumbing systems were also replaced or upgraded. Swinerton self-performed metal framing, drywall, acoustical ceilings, and clean-up. Work was performed above and below occupied space, requiring a significant amount of night and weekend work to minimize noise and vibration impacts to adjacent lab tenants.

The Genesis North Tower project is a ground-up, 21-story, structural steel office building covered by a curved glass curtain wall skin that reflects the surrounding hills and offers spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay, the Peninsula, and the East Bay Hills. The Core & shell was designed by SOM with Interiors designed by McFarlane Architects.

Alongside the construction of the 21-story structural steel office building, Swinerton completed the interior buildout of the first ten floors of market-ready speculative office suites. Each floor is comprised of workplace and laboratory space, focused on Life-Sciences and Pharmaceutical research. Rarely are Life-Sciences laboratory spaces constructed in a vertical setting such as this, which possess unique complexities in the proper planning and configuration of the mechanical infrastructure. Specialized lab components in each of the build-outs included fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, CO2 & LN2 systems, process piping, glasswash, autoclave, and complex HVAC/MEP requirements.

In addition to the speculative office suites, the project includes amenity spaces, meeting rooms, ground-floor retail, and a lobby.?The entire second floor of the North Tower is a full-service fitness center that includes state-of-the-art equipment, a free-weight room, a yoga classroom, a reception area, and gathering space along with full restrooms, showers, and locker storage. Adjacent to the North Tower is a separate two-story steel podium building that accommodates a full-service restaurant and bar.

Utilizing the strength of Swinerton’s Self-Perform Superintendent and crews, the project schedule was accelerated to reach early TCO.

This new facility which replaces the existing hospital is comprised of an approximate total of 46,000 square feet. The project consists of a new 28,000-square-foot, steel-framed, OSHPD I hospital, a new 10,600-square-foot, steel-framed outpatient facility, and a 8,400-square-foot support services building (Non-OSHPD)?in addition to site work for a new helipad, parking lots, and 1,300 ft of city roads. The new facility consists of?registration area; admitting and lobby, 8-bed nursing department, operating room, central sterile supply and processing, ED, radiology department with CT and ultrasound, clinical lab, and pharmacy.
