GROUNDBREAKING
Layton Breaks Ground on San Bernardino Health Complex
Layton broke ground Dec. 10 on a three-story, 150,000-square-foot building on the Loma Linda
University Health campus in San Bernardino, Calif.
At a cost of $65 million, the project has been partially funded by a $10 million grant from the San
Manuel Band of Mission Indians.
“The project will obviously bring healthcare. But what San
Bernardino really needs is jobs and job skills,” Dr. Richard
Hart, president of Loma Linda Health told the San Bernardino
County Sun. The project is just one of several Layton is involved with for Loma Linda University.
The facility will house three to six-month healthcare certification programs through San Manuel Gateway College in areas
like medical assisting and phlebotomy. It will also bring the area
a downtown pharmacy and about 400 jobs.
Congratulations
to the Layton
HCG team
Most physician residents at Loma Linda University will also do
their clinical hours at the new clinic, to be known as Loma Linda University Health – San Bernardino. The new building will give Loma Linda University health the capacity to treat over 200,000 new
patients a year – up from 30,000 at their current clinic.
“We have been dreaming about this for a long time and it is finally here,” Hart said.
Layton will finish the project in spring 2016.

COVER STORY
Cooking Up Camaraderie
Layton foreman Etu Tonga prepares a roast pig as Layton
hosts a Safety/Subcontractor Appreciation luncheon Jan. 20th
at the National Guard Readiness Center project (CSG) in
Afton, Wyoming. More than 120 people attended, including
subcontractors, the A&E team, local National Guard soldiers
and General Tim Sheppard and Colonel Tammy Maas. Both
officers spoke and thanked the Layton team for their hard
work and safe culture. Etu buried and cooked the 240-pound pig, and he and his wife, Julie, also
cooked chop suey and rice. Project engineer Chad Thueson, top right, shows his support.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
From Movies to Music:
Layton Renovates and Expands
Old Movie House in Mesa, Arizona
Layton Arizona recently finished the new Mesa Community
College Performing Arts Center, which included conversion of an
existing movie theater. New construction expanded the original
building from 26,000 square feet to 48,000 square feet.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Star of the Sonora
New Mesa Community College
Performing Arts Center
Continued from previous page
The multifunction facility caters to the
needs and aspirations of the celebrated Mesa
Community College dance, theater and music
programs – one of the biggest community
college music departments in the nation.
In keeping a musical theme, the architecture of
the building is a composition inspired by the
musical structure of cherished songs, creative
re-purposing, and a respect for the unique
qualities of the Sonoran desert.
The centerpiece of the new facility is a
460-seat multipurpose theater designed
to accommodate, both acoustically and
9
theatrically, a broad range of musical
performances. Performances were held off-site
due to inefficient space, but this theater brings
art and entertainment back to the community
college campus. In addition to the main theater,
Layton constructed a full complement of
back-of-house spaces, including performance
classrooms, solo and group music practice
spaces, faculty offices and a performance
lobby space, which were outfitted into the old
movie house. Additionally, Layton created
a new entry courtyard by removing the roof
from one of the old theaters located at the key
intersection of the new and existing structures.

Multiple Green Features
Continued from previous page
Alternative Transportation – The facility is
located one-third mile from the city bus, and
provides bike storage, showers, and changing
rooms for the building’s users.
Restoring Habitat – The site design promotes
biodiversity by restoring 35 percent of the site
area with permeable ground cover and native
vegetation.
Reduction of Heat Island Effect – The light
colored, coated foam roof reduces heat island
effect.
Water Efficiency
Water Efficient Landscaping – The native,
drought tolerant landscape vegetation
takes advantage of the seasonal rainfall and
reduces the overall demand for potable water
10
use. Passive water harvesting systems are
incorporated to direct roof rainwater and
parking lot surface run off to the landscape
areas.
Water Efficient Plumbing Fixtures – Dual
flush valve water closets, waterless urinals, and
low-flow lavatory faucets reduce demand for
potable water.
Energy and Atmosphere
Energy Performance – SRP approved
energy efficient HVAC units, LED fixtures,
daylighting, skylights, reflective foam roofing,
R-30 roof insulation, and R-19 wall insulation
provide a projected 12 percent to 15 percent
reduction in energy use.
Materials and Resources
Adaptive Reuse – The project reused
approximately 75% of an existing theatre,
including the walls, floors, and roof for
back-of-house components and classrooms,
dramatically reducing construction waste.
The Layton Way Vol. 1, Jan-March 2015
Recycled Content – The new carpet is made of
EcoSolution Q fiber (containing 45% recycled
content) and EcoWorx backing (containing
44% recycled content, 100% recyclable, and
PVC-free) certified by McDonough Braungart
Design Chemistry (MBDC) for their material
content, recyclability, and manufacturing
efficiency.
Indoor Environmental Quality
Low-Emitting Materials – The carpet, tile
and paints are specified with low to no VOC
content.
Energy Conservation – Lighting and thermal
comfort controls are included for energy
conservation and management.
Daylighting and Garden Views – Daylighting
is provided by skylights throughout the
project, and views into the courtyard garden
are provided from the lobby and improvisation
performance space.
