The Century City Medical Plaza is a landmark set of two buildings in Century City, Los Angeles, California.
The building is located at 2070-2080 Century Park East in Century City, on the West side of Los Angeles in California. [1]
It was designed in the Late Modern architectural style by architects Anthony J. Lumsden and César Pelli. [1] [2] Construction was completed in 1969. [1] [2] [3] It is made up of two buildings: a seventeen-story office tower, and a ten-story hospital. [2] [3] The plaza originally housed Century City Hospital, which was owned by Tenet Healthcare Corporation. [4] Tenet closed the hospital in 2004 as it sold it to Salus Surgical Group. [4] The hospital was renamed as Century City Doctors Hospital, which closed in 2008 after filing for bankruptcy. [5] In late 2016, the hospital was remodeled and re-opened as California Rehabilitation Institute, owned by Select Medical, providing inpatient rehabilitation including: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, recreational therapy, and neuropsychology .
The two buildings resemble two large black boxes made of skin glass. [1] The mullions are reversed, thus playing on the idea of deconstructing the traditional architectural feature of columns. [1] They were the first two buildings to be entirely enclosed in glass skin. [1] This architectural style became a feature of "corporate architecture" for the next twenty years. [1]
