The Draft Environmental Impact Report has been published for a proposed expansion of the Kaiser San Jose Medical Center at 250 Hospital Parkway in South San Jose, Santa Clara County. The plan will create a new six-story structure in the existing Medical Center campus.
Demolition will be required for the existing seven-story hospital. The 250,000-square-foot structure was built in the early 1970s, before federal laws about asbestos and lead paint. The EIR describes the infill as an insignificant example of the common New Formalism and Corporate Architecture styles.

Campus expansion will yield a six-story, 110-foot tall structure spanning 685,000 square feet, 303 beds, and a capacity for 1,785 daytime employees and 1,092 evening shift employees. Construction will add a new energy center utility plant and a five-story, 350,000-square-foot foot parking garage with 1,040 lots.
Stantec and Sandis, both engineering firm, are responsible for the elevations. The plans show mostly featureless grey structures clad with concrete, composite metal panels, and facade glazing.
