An atrium lobby connects the multiple levels between the main entry and the mezzanine pedestrian “boardwalk.” Extensive glazing allows natural light to shine into the lobby. Ventura County Medical Center’s 248,000-square-foot replacement wing opened to patients in August 2017. The four-story building includes 119 hospital beds; an expanded emergency department; three intensive care units; surgery with advanced technology; labor, delivery and NICU departments; and a new pediatrics wing.
