Stanford Hospital & Clinics constructed a new main hospital facility in order to accommodate advanced medical technology, increase capacity needs, meet seismic-safety requirements, and transform the way that patient care is delivered at the hospital.

Harvey S. Firestone Memorial Library building opened in 1948 was expanded in 1971 with the expansion of two lower floors and again in 1988.

In the latest phase, TBS designed the replacement of the third-floor windows and restoration of all lead came windows, including at the tower, and completed a full survey of necessary masonry repairs.

TBS also provided the services required for construction administration/site observation during the execution of the work. The new Stanford Hospital, designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, in association with Lee, Burkhart, Liu, Inc., includes an expanded Level 1 Trauma Center and 368 additional beds.

In order to provide natural light with views of the surrounding foothills, the design of the new hospital includes generous oversized windows.

As Building Envelope Commissioning Consultant, TBS was engaged to provide the technical review of design and construction documentation relating to the building envelope, shop drawing review, and field report preparation.

Construction lasted for five years, during which time Stanford Hospital remained open and fully operational

The project received a LEED Gold certification from the U. S. Green Building Council.
