Title

New Main Kitchen and Remodel Existing Satellite Serving Kitchens and Dining Rooms at Napa State Hospital

Description

The proposed project consists of the construction of a new 29,000 square foot (sq ft) single story Main Kitchen replacement facility on the northwest corner of Madrone Drive and Acacia Drive and the renovation of 10 satellite kitchens and dining rooms (totaling approximately 51,000 sq. ft.) located in existing buildings. This project would support the complete conversion of the hospital to a cook/chill method of food service. With the cook/chill method, meals are prepared in the main kitchen, placed on trays, blast chilled, and transported to satellite kitchens where they are re-heated and served. Construction of the new main kitchen would require demolition of five structures, four of which are contributors to the Napa State Hospital Historic District that is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). These buildings include Building 151 (storage), Building 153 (storage), Building 154 (storage), and Building 155 (welding shop). Building 152 (former auto shop/storage) has been determined not to be a contributor to the district. The storage and welding shop functions would be relocated to existing buildings on the campus. The new main kitchen has been designed to qualify for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LLED) silver certification. Satellite kitchen improvements include new cook/chill compatible equipment, improved finishes, and electrical and mechanical upgrades. There would be no changes to the total number of employees, employee shifts, and deliveries; however, some employees currently reporting to satellite kitchens would report to the main kitchen when the cook/chill method is implemented.
