New Children's Hospital

The Children's Hospital in Madera is reaching its full capacity in terms of the number of children for which they can provide services. This project proposes the design of a new Children's Hospital just south of the City of Tulare capable of serving 210 patients. A three-story steel hospital building will be designed with both moment and braced frames and isolated spread footings. The associated two-story parking structure will be designed out of precast, prestressed concrete with moment frames and a shallow foundation. Additional parking will be supplied, as well as an on-site transportation system utilizing stop signs for traffic control. A pipe system will be designed to adequately provide potable water to the hospital from the City of Tulare. Similarly, a sewer system will account for increased discharge to the City of Tulare’s wastewater system. A detention pond and conduits will be designed to drain storm runoff.
