The
site was divided into two parcels - a 15 acre portion
for initial development and an 8 acre land bank for future
needs. The 15 acre parcel was designed to create a main
north-south spine with intermittent east-west connections.
The hospital and medical office building that opened in the
project’s first phase sit along the spine’s east side.
They will eventually expand, each with a mirror-image
structure situated along the spine’s west side. The
existing buildings will connect with the new ones at their
elevator cores.
The
5-story, 136 bed hospital offers a full range of diagnostic
and treatment services including surgery, imaging,
cardiopulmonary laboratory,
pharmacy, LDR, obstetrics and ICU. RBB also designed
the ambulatory care facilities, emergency department, and
16-station renal dialysis center . A trapezoidal, two-story
skylight is the entry focal point and connects the hospital
to a 40,000 SF medical office building. The hospital’s
internal circulation capitalizes on the mountain views and
maximizes open spaces as a means of de-institutionalizing
the hospital.
