Originally established in 1955, the Kaiser Foundation Hospital-Fontana broke ground on its new facility in 2009. Designed by HMC Architects, the 490,000 square-foot space reaches 7 stories high and includes 314 beds intended to replace the hospital’s original, aging facility. HMC Architects included improvements to increase efficiency as well as patient and staff capacity. The new building also incorporates more patient-centered areas, energy efficient lighting, and the utilization of recycled tap water for campus landscaping.
