U.S. federal contract
Stantec wins contract to build medical centre in Seattle
Edmonton-based Stantec was awarded a multi-million dollar contract with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to provide architecture and engineering services for a major new project in Seattle.
The $223 million project at the Puget Sound Medical Center includes a new 200,000-square-foot mental health outpatient and research center; seismic upgrade of an existing hospital bed tower; and a multi-storey 800-car parking garage.
“This contract is the first major capital project awarded to Stantec’s architecture practice by a U.S. federal agency and demonstrates our growing strength in the healthcare sector,” said Bob Gomes, Stantec president and CEO.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is targeting LEED Silver certification for the project from the U.S. Green Building Council. It will incorporate environmentally-friendly construction methods and energy-saving design.
The San Francisco office of Stantec Architecture will provide integrated design services with associate architect The Design Partnership, also of San Francisco.
Stantec’s Seattle office will provide sustainability, mechanical and plumbing engineering services. Stantec’s Redmond, Washington office will provide environmental assessment; and the Rancho Cordova, California office will provide hazardous materials assessment and remediation planning.
