Among the first project elements of the 15-year Master Plan will
be the 85,000 SF Outpatient Center Building, an OSHPD 3
Outpatient Clinic, and the first building block in the hospital’s
plans of campus transition. Designed as a LEED for Healthcare
Silver facility, the project embodies the visions and ideas of its
neighbors and community, integrating with the existing
medical campus, and the north Oakland neighborhood in which
it resides.
The design of a facility for children always brings unique
opportunities to create an environment, which can create
wonder and inspire its patients. Woven into playful and vibrant
solution however, is a complex planning effort with an array of
separate clinical needs. Departments include Cardiology,
Outpatient Neurology, Neurosurgery, an Outpatient Pharmacy,
Outpatient Rehab with exterior play yard, and a rooftop helipad
with direct emergency access to the existing ER and surgical
areas.

13. The Northwest Tower Addition is the second phase of St. Jude
Medical Center’s Master Plan. In a collaborative team environment
with St. Joseph Health System, TAYLOR and McCarthy Construction,
the project entailed reassessment and modification to the existing
planning and entitlements, design feasibility studies, and early
program development.
Expanding the project team to a dynamic “Integrated Delivery”
design-build format using BIM, the project was able to continue with
successful studies and site planning resulting in a 200,000 SF, 4-level
Northwest Tower. The new program includes two 60-bed
medical/surgical floors, surgery department with 14 OR’s, Pharmacy,
SPD, Dietary, and shell space for future Imaging Department.

BILL and SUE GROSS WOMEN'S PAVILION
The Sue and Bill Gross Women’s Pavilion at Hoag Hospital is the
cornerstone of a 10-year facility master plan. The building is primarily
a replacement facility designed to meet the healthcare needs and
expectations of the Orange County community, particularly with
regard to women’s services.
A main priority for this project was the consolidation of the existing
ambulatory procedure services into a new comprehensive center
that maximizes patient convenience and minimizes cross-traffic with
inpatient services while maintaining the depth of critical support
functions that only a full-service acute care hospital can provide. This
project finished ahead of schedule and below budget.
The program included: Med/Surg, LDR(P), Imaging, Lab, Ambulatory
Surgery Center, Women’s Health Center, NICU, Materials
Management, Hospitality Services, Main Entrance, and Cafe.

CENTER for INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
The Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine is a 22,000 SF healing
environment interior renovation that was shaped by using Building
Information Modeling. The project expands the Center’s services, which
offers conventional medical services combined with alternative
complementary therapies, and adds new centers for Health and Healing,
Life Enhancement, and Fitness. The original design concept of the Center
is based on sacred geometry which is prevalent in the spirals of a
nautilus shell used throughout the existing space. This concept was
expanded to include the shapes, forms and colors of the underwater
ocean and ocean waves.
22. MARTIN LUTHER KING MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING
PROPOSAL EXCERPT
The project site at the northeastern corner of the MLK Medical center
provides a unique opportunity for integration and alignment with the
broader goals of the MLK master plan. The building’s location on the
site functions as both a perimeter/border building,
defining/strengthening the campus edge, and a gateway structure,
inviting the greater community to the medical center, and signaling its
presence. By placing the building parallel with 120th Street, we
accommodate parking needs without significant disruption to lot C at
the south, in effect simplifying construction, and mitigating
construction inconveniences. The location also spatially connects to
pedestrian movement along both 120th and Wilmington. Public points
of access maintain overall pedestrian connectivity. Bolstered with a
strong connection to the intersection of 120th and Wilmington, an open
court of sustainable decomposed granite and paved pathways lead to
the core of the campus.

30. Initial Design Inspiration
Preliminary Renderings
Inspiration… Design starts with knowing the users. The journey
begins with the inspiration of children playing with a kite and
watching it soar…. The site brought clarity during the analysis,
providing the background for how the project should integrate
with the site and embrace the local community.
Soil conditions and sun angles dictated optimal positioning
of the building on the site; plantings were selected for climate
affinity and textural richness.
The User experience acted as the driver for creating a healing
environment that is a continuation of the essential aspects of
Rady Children’s patient care.
Site development and building massing were driven by our
design guidelines – and especially the quality of the patient
experience. Our explorations of the building massing sought
to balance opportunities for gardens, maximized parking, and
building forms that not only support the program, but also
engage the patient and their family.
Introducing the exterior design concepts that support and
extend the iconic elements of Rady Children’s Hospital San
Diego. The child jumping through the air and a soaring kite
became inspirations to the design and found its way into many
features such as the ascending stair along the building. A playful
gesture that provides the dynamic feel of taking off or the tail
of a kite. The floating and pitched roof seeming like it wants
to take flight and the perforated metal panel could provide
an image that catches the eyes of the children passing on the
freeway.
The building is sited to make best use of the mass to reduce
freeway noise on one side, and embrace and welcome the
neighborhood on the opposite side via design elements that
minimize the perception of the scale of the building. The
lively entry canopy, expressive roof form, and color-blocked
stair support feelings of whimsy, joy and the sense of upward
movement.
Blending into the Murrieta community through terracing decks
and a welcoming treelined arrival. The use of the stone wall
with natural colors from the area makes up the base of the
building. The change in paving allow for the more pedestrian
feel. The curtain wall design tying into the nearby medical
office building provide good natural light into the building with
passive solar shading.
In order to achieve the program space and maintain the user
experience, the building footprint was reduced and went to a 4-
story building.

KAISER PERMANENTE IRWINDALE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING
PROPOSAL EXCERPT
35. Project Approach / Innovation
4.1 Design (continued)
Site Planning Criteria
Rapid and multiple site prototypes were developed to test for
optimal placement of primary structures. We asked ourselves which
combination might yield the greatest opportunity for creating
a wellness destination while satisfying critical vehicular access
and drop off needs, what option might best address the unique
considerations of the adjacent highway, etc. Providing structured
parking created too large a mass; we found in our site studies that
there was too little available remaining site to truly create an outdoor
experience which would embody the tenets of the Kaiser total health
environment. In scenario one, the parking structure buffets the noise
from the 605 freeway, but the impression of a parking structure
along this prime visual corridor again does not speak to the Kaiser
brand and might negatively affect the creation of a destination, and
little space remained for a Public Square. Scenarios two and three
mitigate the freeway presence of the structure, yet yield awkward
vehicular circulation pathways. Again, few opportunities remained for
adequately sized outdoor spaces.
Options four and five examined lowering the parking structure
below grade, which offers more available space for an active Public
Square. Option four featured dropping a three-level variant of the
Health Hub one half-level below grade, to create a three-level facility,
however high costs of excavation for both the structure and Health
Hub excluded this solution from feasibility. Option six allowed a
more cohesive public courtyard, and permits the building to back up
against the freeway - mitigating highway noise, while also acting as
a strong Kaiser branding opportunity. This option places three-and-a-
half levels of parking below grade, with only a half-level rising above
grade.

38. Concept
The site resides along the San Gabriel river watershed, and the rock quarries, which dominate
the area; from high in the San Gabriel Mountains, rock and sand has washed down for
millennia. This resource has become a key asset as it has been mined and processed to
provide the construction aggregates for a growing region; we have drawn inspiration from
these quarries for the project concept, which clearly references the stratification patterns
of the quarry environment, celebrates stone and gravel as foundations, and embraces the
warmth and textural variety of concrete.
Project Approach / Innovation
4.1.b Exterior Renderings (continued)
Glazing-to-Solid Surface Ratio and Sustainability
The building has a glazing-to-solid ratio that positively influences our sustainability goals;
windows are minimized along the freeway and south elevations. Window openings are
deep-set, with an extruded frame providing additional shading. Primary curtain wall surfaces
are limited to the protected courtyard, where a balance is struck between transparency,
light transmission, and high-performing glazing. Along the roof, photovoltaic panels
generate power from above, and are enlivened with colored panels interspersed along solar
photovoltaic panels, highlighting the Kaiser Permanente commitment to renewable energy
while enhancing the experience of the building.
Iconic Design and Materials
On the Health Hub, angled lines are scored across malleable zinc panels and smooth
plaster walls, mirroring the geological stratification of the quarry pits; moving from the site
perimeter to the interior, textures transition from rough, to smooth, to polished. Wood and
softer organic surfaces identify human-facing locations and Member destinations; exposed
aggregates in surfaces add visual interest and connect to the landscape.
An angular entrance of faceted planes of glass invites Members inside to the welcoming
“living room” interior space, which faces the exterior court. Expansive glass and multiple
entrances along the courtyard encourage active movement between interior and exterior
spaces. Healthy food and refreshments can be enjoyed beneath the garden trees, and a
Thrive path inspires outdoor activity leading from the courtyard, with stops along the way
(including the community garden), to the site entry. Along the circle, WiFi allows Members
to remain connected to their interests as well as Health Hub site-specific applications and
electronic interactions.
The western, freeway-facing section of the building provides an optimal backdrop for Kaiser
Permanente brand expression; rendered in bold-colored perforated metal, the large-scale
graphic panel announces to passing motorists the existence of Kaiser Permanente’s Health
Hub, while perforations shade western-facing glazing.
39. Wayfinding
How Members and their families find their way to, and around, the Health Hub is critical to
the overall success of this facility. The basis of good wayfinding is design that is intuitive to the
end-users. Our design proposal addresses wayfinding through these design tactics:
Allow people to see the destination before they arrive.
The building will be sited to be clearly visible from the 605 Freeway. Signage will be large and
notable from the 605 Freeway. Upon entering the site, the garage and main courtyard will be
immediately visible from a vehicle. An open, U-shaped courtyard will allow views to facility
destinations.
Provide unique, memorable landmarks
A signature stair and elevator will orient people when leaving from, and returning to,
the garage. The elevator will be centrally located and surrounded by the Thrive stairs. A
conference center will sit as a singular object in the open courtyard. Glazing in exam rooms
and at end of corridors will provide views to the north of the San Gabriel mountains.
Support intuitive building circulation
The major building corridors surround the U-shaped courtyard, providing the ability to
perceive destinations within context. Secondary corridors branch off of the primary corridor
with clear views back to the primary path.
Reinforce wayfinding with accurate signage and other tools
Kaiser-standard signage will provide precise cues to specific departments and amenity
destinations. Directories and maps will be present at all major entries. Maps should be
provided online and through electronic applications (by Kaiser Permanente) to provide
directional information prior to their visit.
Structural System
The second floor and roof plates will consist of lightweight concrete fill over metal deck,
supported by composite steel wide flange beams and girders. The floor framing will be
supported by steel wide flange and/or HSS columns bearing on conventional shallow spread
footings placed on properly compacted fill per the recommendations presented in the
geotechnical report. The floor slab will be a conventional slab on grade.
The floor and roof slabs will serve as diaphragms that will transfer the lateral seismic and
wind loads to the main lateral force resisting elements. The vertical force resisting elements
of the primary lateral force resisting system will consist of Special Steel Moment Resisting
Frames (SMRF’s) utilizing the proprietary Sideplate moment connection at each frame joint.
The Sideplate system will allow for maximization of structural efficiency while minimizing
frame column and beam depth, reduce foundation costs, will not require solid shearwalls or
diagonal bracing between floors, and will reduce the number of frame bays in comparison to
other frame systems. A Sideplate system will also increase erection efficiency by not requiring
full-penetration field welding at the frame joints in comparison to conventional moment
frame systems.
Member Experience
In terms of wayfinding, a ‘Welcome’ sign greets Members and enhances a distinct street edge;
the building presents itself just beyond courtyard gardens, offering an easily navigated view
of the entry prior to parking. Parking is direct; the first turn on the path directs drivers below
grade, and Members emerge from a light-filled stair to the surface of the Public Square with
visual cues again guiding the experience toward the Square and building entrance. Cyclists
and pedestrians can utilize the shaded Thrive pathway flanking the entry drive, and required
fire equipment access is provided around the building while creating a dedicated service and
delivery vehicle route which minimizes crossing paths with visitor’s journeys.
