“Green Building” characteristics such as modern systems for rubbish and medical waste management are integrated into the design. New processes and equipment are considered for all departments to minimize the waste quantities generated. TSG developed a new waste management program that was developed and integrated into the City of Santa Barbara’s city-wide recycling program.

Planning ensured compliance with the State of California Senate Bill 1953 new seismic regulations.

Patient dining and food and beverage facilities for visitors, physicians, and staff have been designed.

A centralized Cottage Hospital System Logistics Center and modern materials handling, vertical and horizontal transport systems; elevators, pneumatic tubes, docks and central sterile processing areas will reduce operating costs and maximize staff efficiencies in support of patient care and other hospital functions.
