TEHACHAPI, CALIF. – Tehachapi Health Care District Hospital, a new $56-million, 78,979-square-foot hospital, will soon break ground in Tehachapi. The 25-bed facility will replace the hold hospital, which does not meet current California Seismic Safety Standards. Construction will commence in February and is scheduled for completion in 2015. Tehachapi is southeast of Bakersfield and just west of the Mojave Desert. The hospital will be built by a joint venture between Bernards and Colombo Construction Company, which will provide construction management services for the Tehachapi Health Care District. The facility will be designed by Stephen Wen of SWA Architects.
