This is a 30 Acre parcel of a sub-rural327acre site in Southern California with a close proximity to Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones to the west and south (<10 miles) Targeted SB 1953 Compliance for 2030 This new facility will surpass 2013 deadlines and meet the January, 2030 SB 1953 Senate Bill target for allCalifornia Acute-Care Facilities to comply with both Structural (SPC) and Non-Structural Performance (NPC) Category requirements.
PROTOTYPE UNIT A transformable grid of suites, rooms and key units as part of a larger network of medical departments. Circulation spine bisects public and private spaces.
INSULAR CONFIGURATION Ostensibly the ideal configuration, as suites, ER, ICU and other sound-sensitive spaces are located at the center of the facility.
SPLAYED CONFIGURATION For anticipated future expansion(s). Accommodates installation of additional suites Facilitates power systems redundancy
CATASTROPHIC CONFIGURATION For high-alert emergency situations. Redundant triage / surgery suites Facilitates power systems redundancy
BUTTERFLY CONFIGURATION Arranged to create large medical and academic campus Accommodates installation of additional suites Facilitates zoned power systems redundancy +30Acres
SERVICE RING Prototype designed with all administration, consultation, waiting, circulation, services, storage, power facilities creating a perimeter ring.
COMPLEX ENTRY Patient and emergency vehicle entry points bisect ring generating various zoned buildings according to area of medical concentration.
CONSTANT ORIENTATION Axis shift with True North considered for more effective sunlight management.
MASSING / AXIS / FLOW Puncture and open base volume / program.
ARTICULATED COMPLEX Typical hospital prototype with moveable suites / ER / ICU units located at the center of the complex.
SUITE UNITS Moveable, self-contained systems. Each suite contains 2 beds with all necessary equipment, services and connectivity. The suites can be subdivided for private configurations. These units are arranged on an isolated grid of pylons where specific layouts can be created according to the hospitals specific programmatic requirements. They are designed to provide controllable indirect natural light as well as enhanced air-filtering capabilities that mutually benefit patients, staff and the facility itself. As expansion is required, pre-engineered units are delivered to the hospital site and launched onto the network grid.
MOVEABLE ER Multiple ER units can be added or concentrated zonally within the complex to meet the demands and scale of an emergency. Autonomous back-up power and connectivity to address catastrophe-level emergencies.
BASE PROTOTYPE Multiple room units can be added or concentrated zonally within the complex to meet the demands and scale of hospital. Four base prototypes comprise of a 100-bed hospital. Hallway units are also reconfigurable, with all required systems and features built in. Autonomous back-up power and connectivity to address catastrophic-level emergencies.
WELCOMING VISITORS ENTRANCE The facility is celebrated in its accessibility. Integrated ramps and stairs provide anticipation of entering the hospital. The lightweight brise-soleil literally follows the daily sun position via hydraulically assisted sliding track. Natural daylight is refracted into the perimeter building by way of reflective vertical fins; this system will supplement daylighting costs.
MOBILE PV SYSTEM PV Cells are arrayed on brise-soleil to track sun phasing.
DYNAMIC SUN SHADING Lightweight Brise Soleil follows sun throughout the day. Mirrored under surface reflects ambient daylight into interior spaces
PASSIVE VENTILATION Warm surface air feeds under building and is drawn in and cooled through inner ring zone.
SEISMIC ISOLATION Hospital Facility set on isolators for seismic stability
HEAT DISSIPATION VIA GEOTHERMAL LOOP Facility is cooled by way of geothermal loop buried below grade.
CHILLED BEAM SYSTEM Cooling in circulation areas throughout the facility.
COMPLETE 100-BED FACILITY Although the hospital sits on a bed of isolators above-grade, the facility is fully accessible to the disabled, where the various entries welcome all those who visit. A complete cluster creates an efficient, autonomous environment where local residents receive quality care, and where medical professionals and staff can work efficiently as never before. The Kaiser-Permanente Thrive Centers configuration can be maximized literally on the fly, with its network of key moveable room units in order to meet the ever-changing and growing needs of the community.
CIRCULATION RING The inner circulation ring provides access to the patient suites, emergency rooms, ICU and the other key room units that are designed to move and be reconfigured when the hospitals needs change.
INNER SANCTUARY Wildflowers and local ground cover are planted in the central area inside the circulation ring; this helps to dissipate radiant heat and noise coming off the sites surface
