San Mateo Medical Center is an acute care hospital with specialty, emergency, and psychiatric services in San Mateo. As part of a major campus renovation, Carducci Associates teamed with Taylor Design to design a new Administration Building, a Link Building to connect with the existing hospital, and a new drop-off area plaza with community amenities. The drop-off area doubles as a staging area for either community events or emergency response staging. A community area includes a fitness lawn and activity play area to draw in local neighbors and provide recreation space for hospital users.
