Escondido, California is presently the proud recipient of the largest single building under construction in California. Palomar Medical Center West is a $615 million, 736,00-square-foot hospital. What differentiates this hospital is it can be called "A Garden Hospital". The 360 bed hospital can be regarded as perhaps the greenest and most advanced hospital ever constructed! Both staff and patients will have access to the rooftop garden and public terrace. This rooftop garden will be visible from patient rooms. Studies have shown that natural gardens have a therapeutic effect on patients and hospital staff. This hospital is expected to be completed in 2012. Global Plastic Sheeting honored to have several of its products used in this hospital of the future.
