Project overview
Vanir provided project and construction management services to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) for the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center (SQRC) project. CDCR awarded Vanir to support in overseeing the planning, design, construction, expansion, and renovation of state prison facilities, addressing their needs in infrastructure, healthcare, inmate housing, and reentry programs.
Located on approximately 488 acres in Marin County, the project team utilized a progressive design-build delivery method for the renovated facility. The project included the demolition of Building 38 and the construction of a new Educational and Vocational Center to be developed in line with the vision and recommendation of a multi-disciplinary Advisory Council recently created by the Governor’s office. The Center serves as a centralized location for the expansion of rehabilitative programs and creates a more normalized environment, according to the recommendations of the Advisory Council. It also consolidates educational programs and expands the programs offered to enhance access for all eligible incarcerated individuals housed at SQRC, seeking to improve their skills and knowledge.
