 complex, it sought proposals for the construction and management of a hospital as part of the community. From the earliest stages of planning, the new 315000 square feet (29,264.5 m²) hospital was envisioned as a "state-of-the-art" physical environment that would promote healing. Designed with a Mediterranean resort-style theme, it incorporated architectural components that were considered at that time to be cutting-edge, including the extensive use of natural light and gardens; patient rooms and other spaces that were designed to encourage family involvement; artwork; and sound management techniques.
