The project consists of a 17-story adult tower and a 10-story children’s tower that provide 480 new patient beds to serve Southern California’s greater inland empire community. The building structures are composed of unique steel frames that incorporate base isolation, fluid viscous dampers, with moment and braced frames. With 25,000 tons of steel, the structural design is built to withstand earthquakes from the nearby San Jacinto fault.
Inside, the building has an impressive ledger of specialty equipment to support emergency services and imaging on level 2, and med surge on level 3. The fourth-floor houses all the mechanical HVAC equipment for the entire building. The fifth floor houses the medical center’s birthing unit with the patient rooms continuing up past level 6 on both the adult and children’s towers.
