Construction Begins on Hoag $1B Health & Wellness Village in California

Construction has started on Hoag’s $1-billion Sun Family Campus expansion in Irvine, California. Designed by LPA Design Studios, the campus breaks down the traditional general hospital approach, creating a health and wellness village offering access to a wide range of services and specialties in dedicated institutes.

The campus will include specialty care institutes for surgical innovation, cancer and digestive and women’s health, in addition to dedicated urgent care services for cancer patients. Six new buildings will house 155 inpatient beds, eight operating rooms, 24 ICU beds and 120,000 square feet of ambulatory facilities. The design supports a new patient-centric care model on a campus designed around wellness, specialized care, biophilia and developing better outcomes.

Outdoor spaces throughout will provide environments for therapies and meditation, including numerous healing gardens programmed to create unique and meaningful experiences for patients and caregivers.

With the construction of the first phase underway, the campus is expected to open to patients in 2026. The construction team includes program manager Jacobs, construction manager HB&A and general contractor McCarthy Building Companies. KPFF and tk1sc are design consultants.
