IRVINE, CALIF., November 30, 2017 — Hoag Health Center Irvine, the 150,000 square foot health care village on the corner of Alton and Sand Canyon, has been named The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) in the medical office category from the Building Owners and Management Association (BOMA) Orange County.
Hoag Health Center Irvine took home top honors in its category and achieved the highest score – 96 out of 100 – of any building submitted to the 2017 BOMA Orange County TOBY Awards.
“We are extremely proud to have won this year’s TOBY award for Hoag Health Center Irvine,” said Sanford L. Smith, AIA, senior vice president, Real Estate and Facilities at Hoag. “Our goal with this project was to make health care more accessible and seamless in the community to meet the growing needs of our patients. By creating a health care village, we’ve been able to deliver world-class health care services in one, convenient location.”
The TOBY award is the most prestigious competition throughout Orange County that recognizes outstanding commercial office buildings and excellence in building management. During the competition, all facets of a building’s operations are considered including its tenant relations program, amenities package, community involvement, emergency evacuation procedures, building standards, sustainability, energy management accessibility, and overall exceptional service.
Hoag Health Center Irvine, which opened in September 2016, brings services and providers from the most sought-after health care institutes of Hoag to Irvine, including Hoag Women’s Health Institute, Hoag Family Cancer Institute, Jeffrey M. Carlton Heart and Vascular Institute, and Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute. The project will now advance to the regional level where it will be judged against medical office buildings in the Pacific Southwest region.
