The energy efficient building expansion was designed and built to attain LEED silver. As part of the initial site work, rock ledge at the site was crushed and re-used as structural fill. The building’s sustainable design features include a white roof and the installation of high efficiency mechanical systems and low-flow plumbing fixtures. The building features energy efficient, low-e glass windows and doors and low volatile organic compounds (VOC) products were used for the interior finishes. The building’s main entrance features a port Coche and the site has 308 parking spaces. Indigenous plantings that do not need irrigation and require minimal maintenance were used for the landscaping.
The four-story center offers 144 nursing beds and has a skilled nursing for short-term rehabilitation and long term care, assisted living, adult day care, home care and geriatric care management. Highlights of the expansion project include an onsite childcare center, a kosher bistro, a center for lifelong learning and specialty programs in sub-acute care.
