Kaiser Permenante Anaheim Medical Center – Work in Progress

With a targeted completion date of Spring 2012, the new 7-story 400,000+ sf hospital at Kaiser Permanente Orange County Anaheim Medical Center will consist of 262 beds with a Diagnostics and Treatment portion, as well as integrated nursing towers to offer acute-care and emergency services. With a healing garden on the medical campus and an exterior courtyard between the two patient towers, the interiors scheme was based upon the concept of “bringing the exterior indoors” to create a complete healing environment. Bright splashes of color and the use of natural (Kirei) or natural-looking materials (wood laminates, porcelain tile at main spine, “wood” plank floors, etc.) help to orient the patients and visitors of their locations in the space as well as provide a fresh palette to the new hospital.
