The project site is a large parcel spanning 18 acres. The scope of work includes the construction of a new hospital complex comprised of a hospital, a support building, a central utility plant, and a parking garage. The complex will feature a hospital building spanning 662,000 square feet and rising eight-stories high, a five-story hospital support building yielding 175,000 square feet of built-up area, and a central utility plan rising two-stories high and spanning 32,000 square feet.

Nothing says “dynamic, urban environment featuring a state-of-the-art mass transit hub” like 12 acres of parking.
That’s a massive amount of parking for a spot that is suppose to be a new urban neighborhood of Sacramento. It’s unfortunate Kaiser is building this for the current state of the site rather than the future
All hospitals have massive parking needs for staff and patients. Having worked in many major urban hospitals, I know this from having to walk 3/4 of a mile from “staff parking” to the hospital every morning at 5am in Seattle. This hospital will be a major destination for Sacramento, and needs parking infrastructure for staff commuting from surrounding areas, and patients commuting from the entire northern half of the state. Let’s try to find other more constructive things to criticize.
