Kaiser Permanente San Leandro ,CA

Kaiser Permanente is located in San Leandro CA. A 263 bed project was design by Ellerbe Becket where I was part of the collaboration team. One of the many challenges I faced during the design development was to protect the building, located under the water table with underground occupancy spaces. in addition to the waterproofing challenges, we took in consideration all the seismic movement for the expansion joints located as well underground. with the support of an experience waterproofing company we were able to successfully provide the necessary detailing documentation for the most critical building conditions.
