The Century City Medical Plaza is a landmark set of two buildings in
Los Angeles, California
.
Location
The building is located at 2070-2080 Century Park East in Century City, on the West side of Los Angeles in California.[1]
History
It was designed in the
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
.
Heritage significance
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]
