The project plans for CreekView Medical Park include a variety of sustainable construction and operational practices. For example, more than 50 percent of the project’s construction waste is being recycled and reused on site, a bioswale is being utilized for onsite treatment of storm water, minimizing runoff from the development, and the site elevation has been adjusted to minimize the amount of soil importing or exporting.
A dedicated area for the collection and storage of non-hazardous recyclable materials is being located at each building, oversized windows will bring natural daylight into the buildings and will allow a visual connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, and each structure is oriented to take advantage of the sun for both light and heat. In addition, bicycle racks are provided to encourage alternative forms of transportation, and to take advantage of the connections being made to existing bike and pedestrian trails in the surrounding community. More than four acres, representing over 40 percent of the project, will be dedicated to open space including walking trails, a nature preserve and other native landscaping; all adjacent to the Buena Vista Creek wetlands.
The KMA design team consists of Don Blair, Joyce Peabody, Alison Warren and Neville Willsmore. KMA will also provide electrical and mechanical engineering services for the project, with structural engineering by Wiseman and Rohy, civil engineering by San Dieguito Engineering and landscape architecture by Teshima Design.
