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]
