Tutor Perini Corporation, a leading civil, building and specialty construction company, announced that its subsidiary, Rudolph and Sletten, has been awarded a contract by Sutter Health for its future Advanced Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Care Complex in Sacramento, California.
The project scope of work includes the conversion of the existing 660 J Street office building into a new approximately 120,000 square-foot ambulatory surgical center and medical office building to help meet growing demand for Sutter’s advanced orthopedics and sports medicine capabilities.
Significance of the New Facility
The new facility will help enhance access for patients through expanded medical offices and exam rooms, concussion clinics, a performance lab, physical therapy, and spaces for research, as well as five operating rooms, sterile processing and advanced imaging areas. The project will include significant structural upgrades to the existing cast-in-place post-tensioned structure to meet current seismic requirements. All new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems will replace the existing building systems. Also, this project alongside others such as the South West Healthcare Inland Valley Hospital are expected to boost healthcare services in California.
Pre-construction work on this project commenced in the spring of 2025 and the project recently entered the construction phase with substantial completion anticipated in the fall of 2027. The undisclosed contract value was reflected in the Company’s backlog at the end of the first quarter of 2026.
