Law Requires Hospital Construction
January 18, 2012
| Kaiser Permanente VP Hollis Harris handles its northern California projects—about 2,000 of them, from new hospitals to roof replacements. (Hopefully those don't cost the same amount.) But this morning she was at the City Club as a panelist on Bisnow’s San Francisco Healthcare Summit. |

| Hollis tells us major projects for KP in Norcal include three hospitals under construction in Oakland (above), San Leandro, and Redwood City. The exterior skin is just going up on the 600k SF Oakland hospital, and interior construction is being done at the same time. (Wasn't that the plot of Hollow Man?) The 430k SF San Leandro hospital is at about the same point, and in Redwood City, they’re erecting steel. The 280k SF facility is slated to top out next month. They’re all the result of SB 1953, which requires hospitals of a certain age and condition either to be replaced or retrofitted. Hollis worked as an architect for several small firms before coming to work for Kaiser. For fun, she enjoys weekend road trips to California destinations like Amador County or Carmel. |
