Supporting UCSD’s vision of requiring all campus projects to achieve LEED® Silver certification, C.W. Driver completed the east campus office building on time and on budget by managing a strategic project delivery that allowed the campus to remain open throughout the construction period. “Now more than ever is it important for campus projects to be delivered on time, on budget, and with limited disruptions to the surrounding operational facilities,” Tucked behind UCSD’s Thornton Hospital, the $25 million, 75,000-square- “The C.W. Driver team has done an incredible job in delivering this office building for the campus,” said Barbara Anderson, project manager at UCSD. “Throughout the construction process, though we almost doubled the scope of work per the contract amount, C.W. Driver had accommodated to the best of its ability and mitigated as much of the time extension as it could, which helped bring the project to fruition, all while remaining on time and on budget.” Through the creative use of various materials utilized during the construction process, such as form liners, numerous sandblast textures and changes in plane wall panels, a very classic and timeless look was achieved, which is consistent with the high architectural standard established on the campus and without paying a premium for more expensive materials. Because Gensler designed a project based on budget and by ensuring the design concepts envisioned were compatible with construction methods, C.W. Driver constructed the building in record time, within budget and with limited disruptions to the surrounding medical facilities. C.W. Driver, a leader in Southern California campus and healthcare construction, maintains its strong relationships with a number of institutions. Additional work on the campus includes the UCSD Torrey Pines Center North project and similar projects to the east campus office building are planned for the future. About C.W. Driver C.W.
