Sharp Hospital in San Diego, CA not only updated their medical facility to meet the changing needs of their industry and maintain their high standards but built a new hospital and wrapped it around the existing building. The new entrance, very sleek and handsome, its shape was a challenge for the installers because it was inconsistent from floor to floor. In addition, there is an S curve at the apex that tapers and goes over the roof which is visible from the freeway. The S curve was designed to shield mechanical equipment and a cat walk.
