HMC Architects has designed two new buildings for the Los Angeles County Martin Luther King, Jr. Medical Center as part of a $360 million effort to revitalize the campus. The hospital—a renovation of an existing tower and several support buildings on the medical campus-is slated to be completed in 2012. A newly constructed multiservice ambulatory care center will be added to the campus and is anticipated to be completed by 2013. The Medical Center will reopen with 120 beds and a full complement of community inpatient health services including emergency services, imaging, and surgery. The ambulatory care center will contain a walk in clinic, outpatient surgery and more than a dozen specialty outpatient clinics. Together, the hospital and ambulatory care center will comprise more than 460,000 square feet on the campus.
