Evelyn Warner:
I’m an Architect with a 30+ year career in Architectural Design and Construction, including nearly 10 years with NAVFAC SW.  I’ve worked on of some of the most complex project types in the industry and some of the largest

institutional projects in San Diego County, greater California, and Nevada:

 ·         Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake Earthquake Recovery Program, 2019-2024

·         Naval Base Coronado, Special Operations Forces, Coastal Campus, $750M, 1.5M s.f.

·         Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton Replacement Project, $450+M, 500,000 s.f., ARRA

·         California Prison Receivership Healthcare Project, $1.5+B, 3‐4 campuses

·         Veterans Administration Medical Center, Las Vegas, $600+M, approx. 500,000 s.f.

·         Palomar Hospital Replacement Project, $750+M, 500,000 s.f

I’ve worked as an Owner’s Representative, Construction Manager, Project Manager, Architect and Planner includes numerous Design‐Build Projects, General Acute Care Hospitals, Rehabilitation and Psychiatric Hospitals, extensive renovation and reuse within operating hospitals and facilities, and a Veterans Administration Medical Center.

My experience in the private sector includes participation on the “Co-opetition” for the

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) team for the California Prison Healthcare Receivership Project using Design‐Build and LEAN Design and Construction concepts. The high security project was at the forefront of innovation and alternative project design and construction delivery processes.

 Of the 10 years I’ve been with NAVFAC SW, I spent the past 3+ years supervising both multi- and single-discipline teams of Design Managers for NAVFAC SW and am currently the MILCON Program Design Manager for NAWS CL Earthquake Recovery Program.
