San Diego Medical Center exterior
The $850 million, 617,000-square-foot San Diego Medical Center center represents the first time Kaiser Permanente incorporated concepts from the Small Hospital, Big Idea hospital design competition it held, as well as other sustainable measures executed by project designers CO Architects in Los Angeles and contractor Hensel Phelps which helped the medical center to earn LEED Platinum health care certification.
San Diego Medical Center patient room
A number of patient rooms have technology that affords bedside control over temperature, lighting and window shades. Caregivers can adjust lights and other conditions from a keypad outside the patient room without disturbing the patient.

LED lights are installed throughout the facility and solar panels, strategically placed outside the medical center, generate about 3 percent of the energy used.
