“The desire to discover, the desire to move, to capture the flavor, three concepts that describe the art of photography.” — Helmut Newton
I remember when my son was born in 2016 in the CPMC California Campus. It was an unforgettable day !
Even then we heard, the plan was already on for a brand new campus being built on Van Ness.
This became a reality in March 2019 when a state of the art new hospital opened its doors for patients in the middle of the city of San Francisco.
The 12-story and 274-bed medical center occupies an entire city block and was developed by Sutter Health and SmithGroup. It houses two hospitals, the adult acute care and women’s and children’s in one building.
As SmithGroup states the team utilized creative methodologies including Lean programming and revolutionary fabrication techniques to bring one of the smartest, safest and most sustainable hospitals in the country into reality. And they did this a year ahead of schedule and on budget.
An interesting fact that 120 viscous wall dampeners were used during the building process that could withstand a major earthquake, which would remain fully functional for up to 4 days without outside help.
