The replacement hospital was designed and built after seismic retrofit studies revealed that a new facility would be more cost effective than renovating and fixing the existing structure.

The process of establishing a realistic budget to match the scope of functionality needed within the replacement facility was often challenging, especially due to the sheer size of the new hospital, which includes a children’s hospital, over 500 new patient beds (including intensive care units), a new food service campus to serve all staff and patients within the hospital complex, and other services.
