Kaiser Permanente’s flagship high-rise hospital campus provides 620,000 sq ft of inpatient care and 370,000 sq ft of outpatient services, supported by above- and below-grade parking structures. The inpatient facility includes 349 beds, 13 operating rooms including hybrid and IMRI suites, and advanced laboratory spaces, while outpatient services feature six operating rooms, MRI facilities, linear accelerators, and a cafeteria.
A new central utility plant supplies steam, heating hot water, chilled water, and 10 megawatts of backup power. The project team utilized Lean and BIM-based collaborative design processes to streamline coordination and delivery.
Designed in accordance with Green Guide for Healthcare standards, the hospital incorporates innovative mechanical and plumbing systems including heat recovery, variable air volume strategies, and high-efficiency fan configurations. These sustainable systems reduce energy consumption by 38% compared with modern hospital benchmarks and by 50% compared with older hospital facilities, while water use was reduced by 36%. Sustainable engineering strategies also maximized available utility rebates for energy conservation and operational efficiency.
