Turner Construction Company and design-build (turnerconstruction.com) partner DGA Architects (dgaonline.com) have been awarded a contract by the Department of General Services for the construction of a state-of-the-art $158 million Emergency Operations Center for the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. Strategically located in Costa Mesa, the facility will bolster emergency preparedness and response capabilities for Southern California, providing critical infrastructure for managing disasters and emergencies.
The center will play a pivotal role in coordinating emergency management and disaster response at a strategic level, ensuring readiness and resilience in times of crisis. The project will include energy infrastructure such as photovoltaic panels, battery energy storage and emergency generators and will be built to Zero Net Energy standards.
California Office of Emergency Services provides disaster planning, readiness, and response of state resources for the various emergencies and threats of emergency facing California, including earthquakes, floods, significant wildfires, prolonged drought impacts, public health emergencies, cybersecurity attacks, agricultural and animal disasters, and threats to homeland security.
“We are honored to partner with the Department of General Services and DGA Architects to deliver this critical emergency operations center,” said Reed McMains, Vice President and General Manager, Turner Construction Company. “This project represents a significant step in enhancing the community’s resilience and readiness in times of need. Our team is committed to bringing our expertise and dedication to every phase of this endeavor, ensuring it meets the highest standards of quality and functionality.”
Construction is scheduled to be completed in mid-2027.
