The company is now set to start work on an outpatient pavilion, with the contract set at around $78 million, and expected to be booked during Q3 of this year. The facility that Rudolph and Sletten Inc. is set to construct will act as support for the Jacobs Medical Center.

UC San Diego Health Services has awarded Rudolph and Sletten Inc. a key $78 million contract for construction of an outpatient pavilion at Jacobs Medical Center in La Jolla.

The facility will improve outpatient care delivery at UC San Diego by consolidating outpatient, ancillary, professional and support services that are dedicated to treating specific medical conditions. Investment in the project will total $120 million, according to The San Diego Business Journal,

Designed by Los Angeles-based CO Architects, the 150,000-square-foot project will feature two wings connected by a public space, and will offer natural lighting through a skylit atrium.

According to Patch.com, the project will be a candidate for LEED Silver certification.
