Comprising 10 stories - eight of which are above ground - and including 1 million square feet of space, the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center sits on 4 acres at the southwest corner of Westwood Plaza and Charles E. Young Drive South in Los Angeles, CA. The building’s exterior shell consists of Ambra Light travertine panels, which were quarried and fabricated by Mariotti Carlo & Figli S.p.A. in Tivoli, Italy.
While Pei Partnership Architects designed the exterior envelope and public spaces of the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Perkins + Will - named the world’s leading healthcare architect by World Architecture Magazine, served as Executive Architect and designed the medical and patient-focused interior spaces. The hospital encompasses the operations of the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, the Stewart & Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA and the Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA. There are four hospital entrances to serve distinct patient populations, and a wide corridor interconnects the lobbies to allow people to navigate easily around the facility.
