Santa Clara Valley Emergency Center Expansion project consists of many different phases, which makes the project very complex and challenging. As an architects, It’s a great opportunity to study the demolition and complete plans for different phases. I also participated to develop egress plans, showing temporary barricades, egress paths, and exits from, around, and if necessary through the construction area.This project deepens my understanding and knowledge of technical skills related to healthcare renovation project and OSHPD requirements.
