An insulated metal panel system from All Weather Insulated Panels was chosen for the project because of its durability, energy efficiency and ease of installation.<\/p><\/div>Under pressure from the federal government, the state of California had to build a new health care facility for its prison inmates\u2014and do it fast. The logistics were daunting.<\/p>\n
Planning for the 144-acre construction site that became the California Health Care Facility inmate hospital in Stockton, Calif., had to account for 1,700 personnel on the site at any one time. Physically, it was an imposing project: 23 buildings adding up to 1.2 million square feet, with 792,000 square feet of roofing. <\/p>\n
