McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. (McCarthy), in collaboration with SmithGroup and UC Davis Health, announced the groundbreaking of the UC Davis Health California Tower project. This 910,000 square-foot, $3.7 billion project promises to enhance health outcomes and support the socioeconomic fabric of the region. 

The California Tower will feature a 14-story hospital facility and a five-story pavilion, adding 334 private patient rooms designed to improve recovery and reduce infection rates. This state-of-the-art facility, connected to the existing Surgery and Emergency Services Pavilion, also includes two helicopter landing decks, advanced imaging and support services, and complex procedure rooms, ensuring comprehensive healthcare delivery for the next 50 years. 

Sustainability is also at the heart of the California Tower, with the project on track for LEED Gold certification. The building's design includes energy-efficient systems, indoor environmental quality enhancements, water use reduction and rainwater management strategies, all contributing to a greener, more sustainable healthcare environment. 

The California Tower's architectural design complements the existing UC Davis Medical Center campus while setting a new vision for healthcare facilities. The 230-foot tower will be a prominent feature of the local skyline, with unitized curtain wall panels mixed with metal fins, and structural glass planes enhancing both aesthetic appeal and functional efficiency. This design ensures patient privacy and supports reduced energy consumption, creating a welcoming and sustainable environment.
