The Pavilion, opened in November 2015, provides the community with the most advanced health care research facilities and education resources, free of charge. The three-story, 18,000 square foot Pavilion includes two classrooms, a boardroom, and two full-size simulated hospital patient rooms for training medical professionals. The Pavilion also includes an auditorium with floor-to-ceiling windows that can accommodate up to 214 people and is available for local nonprofit organizations to use. As a hub for health care education, the Pavilion provides a variety of preventive health education classes to the community through a new Community Wellness Program, free of charge.
Site amenities and features include an outdoor patio with colored concrete paving, a water feature with planter surrounding, canopy shade structures, site furnishings (benches, tables, trash containers), low-voltage lighting, potted planters, and bicycle racks, and a pedestrian‐oriented entry court with decorative landscaping, ornamental shade trees, and colorful pavement patterns. All irrigated areas use point-source drip.
