Kaiser Permanente’s Redwood City Replacement Hospital will likely become a model for efficient staff flow at a very low cost per bed investment and even lower operational cost with the facility's many energy-saving design features.

Kaiser Permanente's Redwood City Hospital Replacement project includes the construction of the new hospital, central utility plant and site utilities work. The replacement of the hospital was necessary in order to meet the seismic safety standards mandated by the State of California under SB1953.

The new 149-bed, 280,000-square-foot hospital is home to KP's Advanced Neuroscience Center for Northern California that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions including brain and spine tumor, complex spine diseases, vascular lesion and complex pain problems. The hospital also includes an emergency department, imaging department with an MRI and two CT scans, 10 operating rooms, labor and delivery rooms, ICU rooms, and procedure rooms. Other project elements of the new hospital include an enclosed garden featuring outdoor dining adjacent to the cafeteria and a meditation area.

Co-location of the project team during all phases, laser scanning and 3D modeling, robust staffing with highly qualified personnel, web-based project management tools, and precise and thorough planning are all service hallmarks of this successful project.
