Project Description

As part of the landmark Palomar Medical Center Escondido campus, this project involved the installation of conduit, wire, and terminations for the hospital’s sophisticated HVAC control system. The 740,000-square-foot, 11-story facility—opened in 2012 and accredited by The Joint Commission—features 288 private patient rooms, 44 emergency and trauma rooms, and 11 operating rooms.

Developed on a 56-acre site, Phase I of the project included utility planning, a new central utility plant, and infrastructure for a future medical office building. Emphasizing sustainability and energy efficiency, the hospital utilizes a high-performance building management system with advanced HVAC design, supporting LEED-consistent goals. The facility integrates natural light, outdoor access, and calming views to enhance patient recovery and overall wellness for the North San Diego County community.
