UC Irvine plans $1 billion, campus-adjacent medical complex with 144-bed hospital
On January 21, Orange County Register reported UC Regents approved a $1 billion medical complex with a 144-bed hospital next to UC Irvine’s main campus.
Their approval clears the way for the university and its medical arm to get started on UC Irvine Medical Center Irvine-Newport, a multi-building complex that will offer specialty care in oncology, neurosciences, children’s health and other areas. It will not replace the large medical center the university operates in Orange.
UCI’s project is the third major medical development announced in Irvine in the last two years. In 2019, Duarte-based City of Hope announced a specialty cancer hospital with clinical research and outpatient facilities next to the Orange County Great Park, and Hoag Hospital got approval last year to more than double the number of patient beds at its Irvine campus on Sand Canyon Avenue.
