Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton Earns Two AGC Alliant Build America Awards

The Naval Hospital at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton received two Alliant Build America awards from the Associated General Contractors of America, including Best New Building Project and the Marvin M. Black Excellence in Partnering award.

A joint venture of Clark Construction Group and McCarthy Building Companies delivered the design-build project six months ahead of schedule and more than $100 million below the Navy’s original budget. HDR Architecture and HKS, Inc. led the design team.

Situated on a 70-acre site near the south entrance to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, the hospital provides emergency, primary, intensive and specialty care. The facility has 96 outpatient procedure rooms, 205 exam rooms, ancillary departments, support spaces and 54 patient rooms accommodating up to 60 beds for non-ambulatory patients who require stays in excess of 24 hours.

The AGC Alliant Build America Awards highlight the nation’s most significant construction projects. A panel of judges, representing all areas of construction, evaluated the nominated projects’ complexity, use of innovative construction techniques and client satisfaction, among other criteria.

The AGC Build America Marvin M. Black Excellence in Partnering Award (now represented by a category within the Alliant Build America Awards) is presented annually to construction projects that epitomize the principles of partnering. Inspired by the AGC’s Past President Marvin M. Black, the inclusion of partnering in the Build America Awards represents a timely and unified celebration of the construction industry’s finest.
