UC San Diego Health opened the $943 million Jacobs Medical Center in November of 2016 in La Jolla. Designed by Cannon Design, the 10-story, 509,500-sf facility includes the Rady Pavilion for Women & Infants, the Foster Pavilion for Cancer Care, and the Vassiliadis Family Pavilion for Advanced Surgery. Featuring integrated imaging and surgical technologies, the 245-bed medical center will support the delivery of leading-edge translational therapies through clinical trials and the utilization of an advanced genomics diagnostics program for the creation of personalized medicine solutions. Inpatient rooms are illuminated by abundant natural light and are customizable with iPads for optimal temperature, lighting, and entertainment options, as well as providing access to the patient's medical information and treatment schedule. The facility, which is connected by a bridge to the Altman Clinical Translational Research Institute, includes an open floor with complete air filtration for stem cell and bone transplant patients. Kitchell broke ground on the project in early 2012.
