This phase will also include demolition of the existing Bachman and Arbor parking structures and construction of an 1,850-space parking structure, which is expected to be opened at the end of 2023.

It will allow consolidation of patient and employee parking to improve patient and caregiver access and experience.

UC San Diego Health CEO Patty Maysent said: “The new hospital will provide new facilities, new technology and increased capacity, while expanding care offerings and addressing the growing demand for specialty care.

“It will be the cornerstone of a modern medical campus and a premier destination for health care.”
