Escondido’s Palomar Medical Center Wins Engineering Excellence Award


M-E Engineers, Inc. has received an Honor Award from the California Chapter American Council of Engineering Companies for their work on the Palomar Medical Center in Escondido. 

M-E Engineers performed full infrastructure master planning for the new complex and completed all mechanical/electrical/plumbing design services. The $956 million facility consists of an 11-story inpatient tower with 288 single patient rooms, an attached diagnostic and treatment center, and a power plant on 17 acres. A Green Guide for the Healthcare Pilot Project said the M0E Engineers design created for the Center produces significant energy and water savings, a sophisticated building management system, and a purposeful combination of the latest in modern technology with natural healing elements.
