2025 ENR West Regional Best Health Care Project in Southern California - Scripps La Jolla Tower II
A.O. Reed is proud to share that Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla Tower II has been awarded the 2025 ENR West Regional Best Health Care Project in Southern California. The award honors this project’s excellence in teamwork, safety, innovation, and design quality.
A.O. Reed and Murray Company joint-ventured as RM Mechanical on this project. Together, we provided the complete mechanical and plumbing systems for the nine-story, 433,000-square-foot hospital addition. Our team delivered the HVAC, piping, and plumbing infrastructure to support trauma, a NICU, and other facilities. Through careful coordination and prefabrication, we streamlined installation, minimized disruptions on the active campus, and ensured reliable, future-ready systems.
Throughout the course of the project, we practiced proactive coordination and built strong partnerships. Our field crews and project managers worked side-by-side with the design team and trade partners to overcome obstacles, maintain the schedule, and deliver mechanical and plumbing systems.
This Engineering News Record award highlights the collective efforts of the engineers, architects, vendors, and contractors who collaborated to deliver a state-of-the-art facility that strengthens San Diego’s healthcare system and expands access to exceptional patient care.
