As part of the excavation phase of the California Tower project's construction, the ambulance and patient entrances to the Emergency Department (ED) on the east side of the Surgery and Emergency Services Pavilion (SESP) will be moved.
The ambulance entrance is estimated to move to the hospital's north side at the end of May, and the patient entrance is estimated to move on Friday, July 12, to the south side of the building, next to the current SESP staff entrance, which opened Oct. 2023. Valet services will continue for emergency department patients. The valet station will be located under the canopy on the right-hand side of the current Medical Center main entrance. Valet services will park patients’ vehicles in Parking Structure 3.
All other employee entrances, including the SESP entrance, remain the same. The estimated walking time from Parking Structure 4 (PS4) to the SESP staff entrance is eight minutes, and from PS4 to the North SESP entrance is seven minutes.
