UCI Medical Center Irvine-Newport

The University of California, Irvine (UCI) is expanding its Health Center for Advanced Care to create UCI Medical Center Irvine-Newport, a full-service academic health complex. The development includes a seven-story, 350,000 GSF hospital with an emergency department, inpatient bed services, operating rooms, pre/post observation beds, inpatient imaging, and support services. A four-story, 200,000 GSF ambulatory surgery center is also planned. Langan conducted comprehensive field explorations, reviewed prior Phase I and Phase II environmental studies, and developed a soil management plan to be incorporated into grading and construction documents. We also provided detailed guidance to address health and safety, soil disposal, vapor mitigation, and proper soil handling requirements.
