Design & Construction Services
Design and Construction Services (D&CS) is a group of dedicated architects, engineers, project managers, inspectors, contract administrators, and support staff responsible for the implementation and management of the campus and Medical Center Capital Improvement Program. The department is comprised of five units: Project Development, Quality Assurance, Contract Administration, Construction, and Budget and Finance.
D&CS is led by Associate Vice Chancellor Rebekah Gladson, who is the chief building official for the campus and the Campus Architect. Ms. Gladson is the official University Representative on all major capital improvement projects.
D&CS is managing the design and construction of UCI Medical Center's New University Hospital, a $375-million research and teaching hospital. Construction is underway, with the building exterior scheduled for completion in 2007. The new hospital will open in 2009. UCI Medical Center is Orange County's only university medical center and Level 1 trauma center. UCI Medical Center has been ranked among the nation's best hospitals for gynecology by U.S. News and World Report for five consecutive years and has received the prestigious Magnet Designation for nursing care from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
