Clark Pacific Completes Precast Parking Structure for Red Hawk Casino

West Sacramento-based Clark Pacific recently completed construction of an eight-story, 3,300-space parking structure for the new Red Hawk Casino in Shingle Springs.

The 1.1 million-sq-ft project was erected on the site in just over 90 days and completed in just 10 months. The design/build precast project built by Clark Pacific offered cost-effective, fast construction along with environmental friendliness.

Rudolph & Sletten, construction manager for Red Hawk Casino, managed the Clark Pacific design-build team.

Clark Pacific teamed with Rudolph & Sletten and Cunningham Group Architecture, in the design-build project. The parking structure project took only 19 weeks to complete above-grade structure construction, and the precast components took only 14 weeks to manufacture. It is designed for future expansion should it be necessary.

Reno completes Pacific Cornerstone-designed medical office building

San Diego-based Reno Contracting has completed a medical offices building at Innovation Corporate Center in San Diego.

The 150,677-sq-ft medical office is part of a master-planned, eight-building, 616,000-sq-ft campus in the Rancho Bernardo area of San Diego.

San Diego-based Barnhart, Inc. and Ontario-based HMC Group completed construction of the $33 million California State University, Los Angeles University Student Union.

The new facility, constructed by Barnhart’s design-build division, replaces the recently demolished student union, originally constructed in 1975.
