Project Description:
The design and construction of a 69,715 square foot LEED Gold Health Careers Center to accommodate the
increased demand for health care education. The new facility will provide modern teaching facilities for
existing programs as well as instructional space for additional high demand program offerings. Existing
programs include: Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Emergency Medical Care, Health Information
Management, Human Services, Nursing, Radiologic Sciences, and Respiratory Therapy. The new building
will include instructional space for a shared simulation lab, computer labs, and much needed classroom
space. The new facility not only meets the needs of prospective students being turned away for the lack of
program space, but also addresses existing facilities that are beyond their design life, cramped, and do not
have the infrastructure to support modern teaching technologies and methods. This facility was designed to
be a 50 year LEED Gold building to meet all current safety, seismic, ADA, fire, and all other building codes.
Square footage: 69,715
Scope changes: There have been minor design changes to better meet the needs of the programs planned
within the building. These were paid for from the construction contingency. No square footage was added
to the building as a result of these minor scope changes.

Project Status and discussion of Critical Path for Construction: Schematic Design was completed in
February 2010. The Design Development phase was completed in December 2011. The Construction
Documents for the building were completed in August, 2012. Throughout this time the architects met with
the college design team on a regular basis to discuss progress and work on design issues.
Two bid packages were requested and completed. The first bid package went to bid in May of 2012. It was
delayed from the original project schedule due to state funding issues at that time. The first bid package
focused on the underground utilities including: water, sewer, storm water management, geothermal well
fields, data communications, and fire hydrants so that this portion of the work could be completed prior to
actual construction of the building itself and during the dry summer months. The second portion of the
project, the actual building itself and site work, went out to bid in July, 2012. The bid opening was on
August 28, 2012, and notice to proceed was on November 12, 2012. There was a delay due to the City of
Tacoma’s Plan review and permitting process. Construction completed in August of 2014 in time for fall
quarter classes. Final acceptance is pending sign off on commissioning of all systems. LEED certification is
still in process.
A condition of the building permit from the City of Tacoma included a requirement to make landscape
improvements along Mildred Street, a sidewalk extension, and street entrance/traffic improvements along
South 19th Street. There is also some parking mitigation that is part of the overall project scope. Notice to
Proceed on the required landscape improvements along Mildred Street was given on November 13, 3013.
This work reached substantial completion in April 2014. The parking mitigation went out to bid in February
2014 with a bid opening on March 13, 2014. This project began construction in June 2014 and completed
construction in September 2014. The City of Tacoma’s required street entrance/traffic improvements, which
includes a new traffic signal, is still in design negotiations with the cities of Tacoma and Fircrest.

Discussion of Project Quality:
A thorough Pre-Design was conducted in 2008 which defined the project criteria. That document and funding
request was based on the design of a quality building. Included in the Pre-Design document was a LEED check
list. This was used during the design process to ensure a building that exceeds LEED Silver standards in
sustainability, energy efficiency, and quality of construction. The design architects actually designed the
building to qualify for a LEED Gold rating. The mandate to the design team was clearly articulated during the
Pre-Design process and the building will be designed to a 50 year design life meeting all current city, state, and
federal building codes for fire, electrical, structural, seismic, ADA compliance, mechanical, energy efficiency,
storm water management, environmental protection, life safety, and others.
