Since 1913, City of Hope has been fighting against life-threatening illnesses while affirming their vision that “health is a human right.” In pursuit of this fight, City of Hope has begun executing a 20-year expansion plan to enhance its research and treatment facilities across the United States.
In December 2019, CSI joined forces with DPR Construction to aid City of Hope in their latest endeavor: the City of Hope Duarte Outpatient Clinic. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, CSI set out on an extraordinary feat, designing and constructing a ground-up OSHPD 3, 8-story highrise with a basement. At the highest peak, CSI had 53 workers on site working to complete this 351,988 SF building.
The Duarte Outpatient Clinic features state-of-the-art equipment for cancer treatment and care, including spaces for radiology, radiation oncology, MRIs, Fluoroscopy, CAT and PET Scans, other imaging suites, nuclear medicine, cleanroom labs, an IR PACU, and patient care areas with infusion bays.
After three years of unwavering dedication, including periods during the pandemic and significant weather delays and challenges, the Duarte Outpatient Clinic is complete.
In recognition of the extraordinary efforts and excellence demonstrated in this project, CSI was honored with the 2024 Prestige Diamond Award for Electrical Excellence and a 2024 Electrical Excellence Award for Voice / Data for the Duarte Outpatient Clinic from the Los Angeles National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA).
We are incredibly proud to partner with City of Hope and are confident that their efforts will save lives for future generations.

Overview
The citizenM Downtown Los Angeles Hotel is a new 11-story, 315 room hotel on South Spring and West 4th Streets.
Built using preconstructed modular guestrooms designed by CSI, the citizenM Hotel offers guests affordable luxury in a convenient location. The hotel features modern guestrooms controlled by the in-room iPad or mobile app, the canteenM bar, a retail shop, free Wi-Fi, a gym, and community spaces to relax and socialize.
Construction of the citizenM Hotel was unique in that the prefabricated rooms were stacked using a crane, similar to stacking Legos. This method of construction created repetitive elements to aid the process and reduce the project timeline.
In addition to designing the guest rooms, CSI designed the electrical for the community spaces, including the first and second floor, roof level, guestroom floor corridors, and utility rooms.
Not only is the citizenM Hotel the tallest modular building in California to date, but citizenM is ENR California & Northwest’s Owner of the Year. To read more, click here.
Located just south of San Francisco in Burlingame, CA, the Windsurfer is a new waterfront office complex.
CSI partnered with Rudolph & Sletten on the Windsurfer TI Project, which is one of the bay area’s most significant office developments on the peninsula to date.
The Windsurfer TI Project consisted of tenant improvements to two large structures. The first is an 8-story, 240,000 SF building that includes two floors of laboratory space and six floors of office space. The second is a 7-story, 210,000 SF building with a café on one floor and offices on the remaining floors.
The completed complex includes four new class-A office buildings overlooking the bay and various amenities, including a pedestrian promenade, improved trails surrounding the bay, and safer roadways for pedestrians and cyclists.
To increase efficiency and capacity for COVID-19 testing, PerkinElmer, a Massachusettes-based diagnostics company, partnered with the State of California to open the new DGS COVID-19 Temporary Lab in Valencia, CA.
CSI Electrical Contractors, Inc. joined Hensel Phelps to complete this design-build tenant improvement of the 134,287 SF existing industrial building. The facility consists of multiple large rooms with open workspaces, lab equipment, refrigerators and ovens, clean rooms, offices, H-3 storage rooms, and a second-floor mezzanine with administrative spaces to accommodate the 300+ employees working to process tests.
The DGS COVID-19 Temporary Lab had several notable achievements, with the first being that CSI completed our work within a 7-week time frame. Second, given the nature of work performed in the facility, the facility needed a backup generator, usually taking months to acquire. CSI was able to locate, purchase, deliver, and install the permanent backup generator in 2 weeks. Third, CSI installed a completely new electrical distribution system, including UPS, switchgear, and ATSs.
The Cedars-Sinai Bio-Manufacturing Center focuses on accelerating scientific discovery through generating world-class biomaterials and conducting revolutionary research in biobanking, personalized medicine, and stem cell biology.
CSI Electrical Contractors, Inc. partnered with Rudolph & Sletten on this 23,284 SF build-out of the second floor at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. The project included cleanroom labs, process development rooms, office space, a 500kW generator, and a roof chiller plant.
Kaiser Permanente leads the way with their next generation medical office building.

The USC Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience is a cutting-edge research facility that connects a divergent group of scientists and engineers to pursue new frontiers in medicine and health.
CSI Electrical Contractors, Inc. partnered with DPR Construction to execute all electrical construction on this 190,000 SF research facility on four levels above grade and one basement level. CSI Electrical Contractors, Inc. provided Design-Assist on the core and shell along with the 90,000 SF interior buildout over 26 months plus the added 20,000 SF of cleanroom space and 40,000 SF of wet labs.
This project featured cleanrooms and imaging
which required extensive electromagnetic interference (EMI)
mitigation considerations that needed the use of GRC (overhead) and PVC Coated
GRC (underground) conduits for feeders and branch circuits throughout the
basement.
The cleanroom construction also proved to be an extremely difficult project beginning with soil testing to determine the best location to insulate the room from vibrations from the nearby Metro Expo Line light rail. There was a considerable amount of work done to protect the lab which included installing a 3-foot concrete slab for the building’s base, a dedicated duct system which if spread out would span 6 miles if laid from end to end, and using the utmost scrutiny following cleanroom protocol.
In addition, the project included a Toxic Gas Monitoring System, VESDA smoke detection system, and modified fire alarm sequence of operations that allowed area-specific mechanical shutdowns in lieu of a global shutdown sequence.
