The central plant was constructed in a complex, multi-phased procedure to maintain existing services online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also included is a new emergency power plant. The campus central plant serves the new Women’s and Children’s Hospital, the existing renovated Sutter General Hospital, and two other Medical Office Buildings located on adjacent blocks in downtown Sacramento.
