Construction Begins on OB Remodel at Scripps Memorial Hospital

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – After more than a year of planning and design, BNBBuilders has commenced remodeling the obstetrics unit at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.

Designed by Interspec and Freeman White, the remodel includes upgrades that will enhance the patient experience, provide new technology and security systems and better support nurses and physicians in their mission to serve expectant mothers and their newborns during and after pregnancy.

BNBuilders recently began construction on the second and third floors of Scripps Memorial La Jolla to provide new space for expectant mothers and their infants. The hospital is upgrading the inpatient and outpatient spaces including the triage, perinatal, post-partum and labor and delivery rooms and the ultrasound area, enhancing the level of care and comfort for their patients.

The new patient amenities include a sleep-over space for family; increased seating options for visitors; new personal electronic device access for phones, iPads and music players and new larger televisions. New furnishings will be provided and bathroom finishes will be enhanced. Patient privacy will also be improved.
