The Steinberg Hart / PCL Construction team celebra

The Steinberg Hart / PCL Construction team celebrated the ribbon cutting of our $79 Million Southeastern Live Well Center, a 60,000 SF LEED Gold, Zero Net Energy Project that promotes resident health and well-being. The new center provides essential services to over 100,000 San Diego County residents, featuring community facilities, family assistance services, trauma-informed mental health services, and behavioral health counseling, among others. Filled with over 55 works of art by local artists, the Live Well Center will have an upcoming Open House on Saturday, October 14th to share the center with the community it serves. We could not be more proud of this transformational project and can't wait to see the positive impact it will have in the years to come.

We are delighted to share that Harvey Mudd College

We are delighted to share that Harvey Mudd College Scott A. McGregor Computer Science Center has been awarded a 2023 AIA California Design Award. Jury comments noted: "The clear and dynamic massing strategy produces a figural building that connects and engages in unexpected ways with the existing disposition of the campus."

The Scott A. McGregor Computer Science Center was recognized by the jury for Design for Integration, which is one of the ten principles as outlined in the AIA Framework for Design Excellence.

A modern jewel on the Harvey Mudd College campus, this building meets two pressing needs: new space for the rapidly expanding computer science program and a vibrant nexus for project-based learning. The building concept utilizes strategies that invigorate interdisciplinary collaboration – a key component of Harvey Mudd College’s mission.

Jury members noted the building's sustainable performance., which reflects a 73% energy use reduction from the baseline EUI for this building type. The design meets the AIA’s 2030 Challenge even before taking onsite renewables into account. The an onsite 720 kW PV system not only brings the project to Zero Net Energy, but also meets the energy needs of several buildings on the campus.

This week, we held our third annual Steinberg Hart

This week, we held our third annual Steinberg Hart Day of Service! An initiative of our JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity) Group, Steinberg Hart teams once again supported @SimplytheBasics, a National Hygiene Bank. Their services help sustain the health and well-being of low income communities, people at risk of homelessness by, or people experiencing homelessness.

Each office received bulk supplies, including dental kits, soap, socks, shower supplies, masks, and hand sanitizer. We came together to sort supplies and pack kits, complete with handwritten notes for the recipients. In total, 1,000 hygiene packages were made by all the Steinberg Hart offices combined. We are proud to have partnered with such a wonderful organization doing such important work to serve our communities, and so thrilled that their national network allowed us to all volunteer. The Day of Service was a resounding success, and importantly, it was deeply aligned with values that we hold dear. #SteinbergHartDayofService
