Project Description
Kaiser Permanente is creating a new destination healthcare campus in Dublin, California, providing residents with access to state-of-the-art medical care. The first building, the Specialty Medical Office Building and Cancer Center, will serve as the heart of the campus with a design that celebrates the local landscape.
The MOB includes advanced medical, ambulatory surgery and recovery, urgent care, and other specialty medical clinics with ancillary services including general imaging, lab, and pharmacy spaces. The building also houses a 45,000 gsf cancer center that consists of radiation oncology with four linear accelerators and features its own drop-off and entrance area.
At the main entry, a bend in the building reveals a lush healing garden that creates a smooth transition between the structure and the site. The façade is broken down with sunscreens and features a sculpture titled, “Double Exposure” by artist Rob Ley. The sculpture reveals two abstracted images—from the west a golden canopy of autumn leaves, from the east a sunny cloud-filled day. The interior design draws inspiration from the rolling hills and colors of the Tri Valley flora to create a welcoming and nurturing environment for patients and their families.
