Efficient Design: Nortel Parking Structure with Architectural Precast Panels

Valley Presbyterian Hospital, located in Van Nuys, CA, represents a significant advancement in healthcare design and construction. Designed by Lee, Burkhart, Liu, Inc. and built by Nielsen Dillingham, this project utilizes Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) panels to create a robust and visually appealing facade. GFRC panels were selected for their lightweight nature and durability, ensuring the hospital’s exterior could withstand the demands of a busy healthcare environment while maintaining an attractive appearance.

The use of GFRC panels allowed for greater design flexibility, enabling the architects to achieve a modern and cohesive look that complements the hospital’s overall aesthetic. These panels were meticulously crafted in Willis Construction’s state-of-the-art production facility, ensuring high quality and consistency. The innovative use of GFRC not only enhanced the building’s structural integrity but also contributed to a faster construction timeline, reducing on-site labor and costs.

Valley Presbyterian Hospital’s new design stands as a testament to the potential of GFRC in creating efficient, durable, and visually appealing healthcare facilities. The collaboration between Lee, Burkhart, Liu, Inc., Nielsen Dillingham, and Willis Construction resulted in a successful project that meets the high standards required for modern medical environments. For architects, builders, and developers seeking to create state-of-the-art healthcare buildings, Willis Construction offers the expertise and innovative solutions necessary to bring these ambitious projects to life.
