UC Davis Health, DPR Construction Tops Out 48X Complex

The DPR Construction and SmithGroup design-build team topped out the UC Davis Health 48X Complex, a new four-story, 268,000-square-foot ambulatory surgery center in Sacramento, California. In addition to hoisting and placing the final piece of steel, the event featured a celebratory luncheon for construction workers, trade partners and key stakeholders.

48X is a key piece of UC Davis Health’s strategy to serve the community and help address the ambulatory operating room capacity shortage at the university’s main hospital.

Located at 48th and X streets, the center will blend advanced medical technologies with a human-centered approach to patient care. The complex will include 14 operating rooms, 59 pre-and post-operative recovery bays and 14 single-occupant overnight recovery rooms. The center will include clinical support, pharmacy, imaging and physical therapy services and administrative support space.
