SAN DIEGO, CA– Delivering the project six months ahead of schedule and more than $100 million under budget, the joint venture (JV) design-build team of Clark Construction Group, LLC, and McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., has completed construction of the new 1,000,000-square-foot (total campus) Naval Hospital at the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.

Capt. Mark A. Kobelja
HKS Architects, Inc., Los Angeles, was the project architect-of-record, while HDR Architecture, Inc., San Diego, served as the architectural designer for the new hospital. Young+Co., Inc. of San Diego, HDR Architects and HKS Architects collaborated on the interior design.

Dignitaries with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southwest, the construction team and hospital commemorated the extraordinary feat during an official ceremony held October 17th to pass the facility key from the Clark/McCarthy JV to NAVFAC to the Navy Medicine. Representatives of all parties were on hand to celebrate the occasion.

"The replacement hospital is a facility 'catch-up' for the progress of modern medicine, since the last facility was built in the early 1970s,” said Capt. Mark A. Kobelja, commanding officer of the Naval Hospital Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. 

“The new facility utilizes evidence-based design to enhance healing for  patients, as well as efficient and effective design to conserve water and energy, protect from earthquakes and optimize the work environment for staff.  

"Designed as a like-for-like replacement of existing capabilities, the new facility will greatly enhance those capabilities with the newest facility and equipment technologies.

" Add in the ocean view, large windows, greenery and pleasing finishes and textures throughout, and it's little wonder our staff and patients are ready to move in.”
