Value Delivered

We provided mechanical design-build and engineering solutions for the Central Health Services building at San Quentin State Prison. 

The building was situated within the prison’s maximum-security perimeter, requiring us to maintain stringent work protocols. We helped deliver the project on time and within budget, and it ultimately achieved LEED Gold certification.
