Crews have begun demolition of the Old Main Hospital on El Camino Health's Mountain View campus. Demolition of the 60-year-old building will make way for the following:
- Construction of a corridor link between the Main Hospital and Taube Pavilion
- An outdoor landscaped courtyard next to Taube Pavilion
- An area to install energy cells that provide on-site generated electricity
- Water storage tanks to meet 2030 seismic requirements
- A new service yard configuration with access to the new loading dock
- New water and recycling storage areas
PHASE 1
The first phase includes taking down the building addition connecting the Old Main Hospital to the Integrated Medical Office Building Parking Structure. Crews will also build a temporary service yard and receiving area. This phase is scheduled to be completed between February and March 2022.
PHASE 2
Once Phase 1 is completed crews will remove hazardous materials and begin demolition of the old hospital in six sequences:
- Demolition of the Surgical Wing
- Demolition of the One South Building
- Demolition of the Old Main Hospital
- Demolition of the Lab and Laundry Building
- Demolition of the East Temporary Exit Pathway
- Demolition of the Temporary Canopy
The process will take approximately one year to complete. The total cost for Phases 1 and 2 is estimated at $24.9 Million. Phase 3 will include redevelopment of the entire site within the footprint of the Old Main Hospital building.
