Hospital Replacement & Renewal

Project Overview

Stanford University Medical Center is in the process of renewal. We must modernize facilities that are the foundation of our community's healthcare services to address state-mandated seismic safety laws, a critical shortage of beds, increasing patient needs, undersized facilities, and the space requirements of new medical technologies and advances in medical care. The proposed plans for the Stanford University Medical Center are to:

  • Rebuild Stanford Hospital & Clinics and the Emergency Department (which serves both Hospitals) to meet seismic-safety requirements and capacity needs
  • Modernize and expand Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital to meet capacity needs
  • Replace the School of Medicine facilities to meet new seismic-safety standards and to accommodate modern technology
  • Renovate Hoover Pavilion, the original Palo Alto Hospital, to accommodate community physicians whose practices will need to be relocated due to new construction.
