CHOC Children’s Is Building One Of The Most Advanced Children’s Hospitals In The World!

Committed to making Orange County one of the healthiest places for children in the nation, CHOC is building a new state-of-the-art patient care tower set to open on our main campus in Spring 2013.

When completed, the new CHOC Children’s Hospital will continue to provide and expand innovative tertiary and quaternary pediatric care. The tower will add 425,524 square feet of space and include a new and advanced pediatric emergency department, operating rooms and related services, laboratory, pathology, imaging and radiology services.

To promote a serene, healing environment for children and their families, the tower will also feature leading design and safety principles; private rooms and enhanced family amenities; open and inviting colorful spaces; a spacious new lobby; an outdoor space and cafe; as well as areas for work, study, play and reflection.

The building process for a project this size is complex and lengthy, but we are working diligently to limit inconveniences caused by the construction, and remain dedicated to the highest standards of patient care and safety.

We are also committed to keeping you informed of our upcoming construction activities:

• New Emergency Department Build Out – Currently underway in CHOC's current tower main lobby; scheduled for completion in Fall 2012.

• Loading dock work – Currently underway on west exterior side of current tower; construction activity will take place Mon.-Fri. 6 a.m. - 5 p.m. through December 2011.

Please note: During the construction, traffic patterns may change and barricades will be erected. For your safety, please pay close attention to signage and flagmen to help you navigate safely around our campus.
