IRVINE, CA — City of Hope celebrated the significant completion of the new Orange County cancer specialty hospital project, designed and built by HOK and Hensel Phelps. The 73-bed facility on City of Hope’s academic cancer campus in Irvine, California, connects to City of Hope Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center.
The building’s design advances healing through a hospitality-inspired, human-centered approach. Patient spaces have features such as ensuite bathrooms, concealed clinical utilities, large windows offering mountain views, and amenities.
Treatment spaces include intensive care and medical-surgical units, operating and procedure rooms, and a specialized Evaluation and Treatment Center that alleviates the need for patients to go to an emergency room if they need immediate assessment or care.
The hospital is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of the year.
“It’s rewarding to see City of Hope reach this stage of delivery,” said Hunvey Chen, Regional Leader of HOK’s health care practice. “I’ll be even more excited later this year when the hospital opens its doors and we see firsthand the impact it has on patients, families, and cancer care in Orange County and beyond.”
