LLUMC is a teaching hospital on the campus of Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California. When executives of LLUMC decided to build two new facilities about 15 miles away, the project marked the first significant foray beyond the university’s main campus.
The new, three-level, more than 85,000 square feet Highland Springs Medical Plaza is designed to integrate an array of outpatient medical services in a single location.
The Highland Springs Medical Plaza, which was designed by Lillibridge in collaboration with healthcare architect Reese Associates, features a three-story, 68,300 square feet medical office linked to a one-story, 16,900 square feet surgery center with a two-story rotunda. Services include outpatient surgery, imaging, urgent care, radiation oncology, medical oncology, physical therapy, pediatrics, laboratory, urology, neurology, general surgery, orthopedics, physical medicine, and rehabilitation.
The complex also includes a healing garden designed to promote both physical and emotional healing. It includes water features, walking paths, meditation areas and plant materials that are conducive to and will help promote the natural healing processes.
The $42 million medical plaza was a collaboration involving LLUMC, Faculty Practice Plan of Loma Linda University School of Medicine, Redlands Community Hospital and Beaver Medical Group, making it LLUMC’s first major partnership with other healthcare providers.
