Extensive modeling showed the need for tall trees along the southern edge to provide a wind barrier against the Antelope Valley’s fierce summer winds. The tree grove also provided views to nature from upper-level patient rooms, important for aiding well being and reducing recovery times.
Natural materials in the garden and courtyard allow patients, visitors, and healthcare providers to gather, meditate, and offer wonderful immersion in nature.
Designed to be a net-zero energy campus, the complex received LEED Gold certification.
