Dewberry announced that it has been selected by Stanislaus County to provide planning and bridging design for a new administration and public health functions building for the county’s Health Services Agency.
As the
bridging architect, Dewberry will provide professional services such as program
development, site selection and verification, conceptual design, schematic
design, and bridging design and documentation.
The new
45,000-square-foot, two-story building will be constructed on a portion of
partially developed county-owned property. The site for the new facility will
support current functions and future county expansions on the same plot. The
final program and bridging design will balance a welcoming space for public-facing
functions and secure parking and office space for agency employees and
collaborators.
Dewberry is
working directly with the users of this future facility, the Health Services
Agency and Public Health Administration, to redevelop the office program and facility
operations based on continually developing knowledge and the county’s frontline
expertise in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. The vision for the project is to
create a workplace that demonstrates the best practices for office design and
collaboration in the age of pandemic and social distancing.
