The project involves building a roughly 78,000-square-foot arts facility designed to support a range of performing arts programs. The center will feature a:

• 631-seat main performing arts theater with an 80-foot concrete fly tower,

• 90-seat recital hall, and

• Supporting areas including a scene shop, rehearsal spaces, and classrooms for costume and music studies.

Construction began in December 2025, with substantial completion expected in fall 2028. The facility is intended to strengthen CCSF’s arts curriculum and community engagement opportunities.

UC Davis Health Central Utility Plant Expansion

Soon after, Rudolph and Sletten won a $253 million contract to expand the Central Utility Plant (CUP) at UC Davis Health’s Sacramento campus – part of the region’s prominent healthcare system.

Under this agreement, the team will construct a two-story, 32,000-square-foot CUP annex building to support expanded operations and hospital service needs. Key components include:

• Plant operations and hospital support space,

• Additional normal and emergency power capacity, including three 3-MW generators, and

• Renovation and modernization of existing utility infrastructure.

Work is currently underway, and substantial completion for this project is targeted for fall 2027.

Strategic Growth for Tutor Perini

These awards add to Tutor Perini’s expanding portfolio of institutional and public works projects throughout California, reinforcing the company’s presence in the state’s construction sector and aligning with broader industry demand for arts, education, and healthcare infrastructure.
