SUMMARY:E100 &#8211\; Transforming Challenges into Opportunities: A Case Study on SAC Health&#8217\;s Adaptive Reuse and Speed to Market Story
DESCRIPTION:This session highlights the benefits and challenges of converting an existing 280\,000 SF\, 5-story vacant call center into a Clinical Facility for SAC Health\, the nation's largest specialty-based and teaching FQHC\, providing healthcare services to underserved populations. A first-time Owner with financial constraints and a 16 month deadline to see patients\, repuposing an existing office building provided an opportunity for SAC Health to open it's doors to the community at a record pace.\nAdaptive reuse offered sustainable &amp\; financial benefits. It reduced the impact of embodied carbon and diverted over 73% of construction waste from landfills\, while allowing a rapid speed-to-market approach with accelerated occupancy.\nThe project also came with a set of challenges including the need for accessibility and systems upgrades\, working within the structural weight limitations of the existing raised floor assembly to avoid seismic upgrades\, and maintaining the operations of an existing ASC throughout construction.\nThe success of the project hinged on selecting a strategic building type that allowed flexibility and future growth\, selecting a Progressive Design/Build team\, and working with the city fo expedite the review and construction process. Overall\, this case study underscores the viabilnity of adaptive reuse in a fast-paced healthcare market.
