The New Stanford Hospital’s Parking Structure

The Conco Companies were awarded the concrete services on the parking structure for the new Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto, CA.  The $2 billion hospital structure was topped off in March, 2015 and is scheduled to be open for patients in early 2018.  The building was designed by Rafael Vinoly Architects along with medical planners Lee, Burkhart, Liu Inc.  Clark/McCarthy is the project's joint-venture general contractor (Clark Construction and McCarthy Building Companies).  The hospital will add 824,000 square feet to the existing Stanford Hospital campus and the new parking structure will add approximately 913 new parking spaces. 

Conco’s scope of work on the new parking structure consists of constructing 2 levels below grade, 1 level at grade and 2 levels above grade for a structure that totals approximately 397,359 square feet.  The project will require 4.2 million pounds of reinforcing steel.  During the construction of the new structure, we will use 17,000 cy yd of concrete and 1,200 cu yd of shotcrete.  

The new facility will meet seismic safety standards and is being built to accommodate advances in medical technology.  Once complete, it will include a total of 600 beds with 368 private patient rooms and a Level-1 Trauma Center that is more than twice the size of the current Emergency Department.  In addition there will also be state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment rooms, five gardens, walking trails and a meditation room.  A pedestrian bridge and underground tunnel will connect the new building to the existing Stanford Hospital.   

At the Conco Companies, our goal is to be the best provider of concrete services for the Western United States. We have built our reputation on superior concrete formwork, reinforcing, place and finish, shotcrete and other ancillary services that benefit from our vast experience.  Currently we serve Northern and Southern California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Colorado.
