In 2005, the University of California San Diego Medical Center came to RTKL with an ambitious undertaking to add a new, 128,000 SF comprehensive cardiovascular center to Thornton Hospital on the La Jolla campus. UCSD’s ultimate objective: to expedite the process of translating discovery into better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease. To accomplish this, they retained RTKL to consolidate inpatient and outpatient cardiovascular services into one convenient center, making it the first in the San Diego region to combine cardiovascular research, education, and patient care under one roof. Having just recently opened, the new hospital's expansive views complement nature-inspired design elements—an outdoor entry atrium, a fountain that pools around a cluster of boulders, several gardens and a courtyard—to create a unique healing environment. Select the pictures to take you to a dedicated gallery of the project or the links below for a complete portfolio.
