Recent Campus Renovations

The hospital is currently undergoing growing pains as we build a new, model pediatric care facility designed to enhance all areas of care for our patients.  As part of the hospital's commitment to improving care for our patients, we have already successfully completed several campus renovation projects.  With the help of community supporters and philanthropists, we have built the:

• Joyce and Stanley Black and Family Healing and Meditation Gardens
• The Saban Research Institute
• Marion and John E. Anderson Building, home to our Burtie Green Bettingen Surgery Center

Joyce and Stanley Black and Family Healing and Meditation Gardens
New underground parking facilities opened in June 2004 and are covered with the beautifully-landscaped Joyce and Stanley Black and Family Healing and Meditation Garden, making it possible to demolish the Santa Anita Building and adjacent parking garage to build a seven-floor, 280-bed New Hospital Building, which will be wrapped around the H. Russell and Jeanne R. Smith Research Tower.

The Saban Research Institute
On June 29, 2003, the hospital dedicated the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles Research Institute as The Saban Research Institute of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, and its new 88,500 square-foot, state-of-the-art research laboratory facilities as the Saban Research Building in recognition of Cheryl and Haim Saban’s "…commitment to the children and families of Los Angeles and children everywhere." The Saban Research Institute is among the largest and most productive pediatric research facilities in the United States and is one of the few free-standing research centers in the nation to combine scientific inquiry with patient clinical care dedicated exclusively to children. Its base of knowledge is widely considered to be among the best in pediatric medicine.

Marion & John E. Anderson Building, home to the Burtie Green Bettingen Surgery Center
On May 18, 2001, the hospital dedicated the Marion and John E. Anderson Building, which includes the Burtie Green Bettingen Surgery Center. The John Stauffer Lobby of the Anderson Building celebrates the spirit of children, adolescents and families. The Bettingen Surgery Center provides 14 state-of-the-art operating rooms, special procedure units, recovery facilities and the Associates Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery, where certain procedures can be performed more quickly with less pain and faster recovery time.
