Riverside University Medical Center (RUMC) Nursing and Allied Health Education Building

The Nursing and Allied Health Education Building at RUMC is nearing completion. The project consists of a 34,749 SF three-story structure adjacent to the main hospital. It will provide new and expanded space for

services currently provided within the hospital including nursing orientation, specialty training, new program development and training, patient education, coordination of outside speakers and clinical affiliation coordination. Program spaces include a lobby, meeting hall space, classroom/education spaces, teaching/ simulation areas, administration areas, and support spaces. The project also includes an open courtyard between the building and the southwest side of the hospital, which is currently a landscaped area of walkways and patio space for outdoor breaks and dining. The $18,728,365 construction project is funded by RUMC Enterprise Funds.

CDBG Good Hope Demolition

Public Health Lab The selection of the architectural firm will take place in June 2015. The Public Health Department Lab, located at 4065 County Circle Drive, Riverside, CA, was constructed in the mid-1980s and while it met the Lab and staff needs of those times, it is insufficient for the new lab equipment, safety and staff needs of today. The laboratory workstations are overcrowded and special work spaces are needed for the handling of infectious specimens. “Right- sizing” the modernization and expansion of the laboratory facility will consist of a 4,700 SF remodel and an approximately 5,100 SF expansion of the existing lab that will require a phased building approach while accommodating ongoing laboratory operations. The project components include administration and office space, accessioning space, new lab space, including a BLS-3 lab to handle infectious materials, and central services space. The new expansion and remodel will be a showcase for innovative laboratory design.
