Southeastern Live Well Center is a vital piece of civic infrastructure in San Diego. The building provides health and social services, helping provide medical coverage, food assistance, financial aid and employee assistance, public health, behavioral health, restorative justice, military and veterans services, and much more.
A facility tasked with providing so many vital services need infrastructure to support them. This comes in the form of a two-story, 65,000-sf building and a separate, four-story parking garage with 325 stalls. DCI Engineers designed the structural systems for the building with concrete fill over metal deck supported by steel beams. This allows for large areas of open space, interrupted by columns or pillars in the building’s lobby or 4,000-sf conference center.
