The south-facing Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Campus sign is the featured image for this post.

The above collage depicts the early period of the construction project known as the makeready phase. The installation of the artist rendering in the median of the Medical Center Drive was the first evidence that something big would soon begin on campus. How big? No one at the time had any idea of the project’s eventual scope and size. Approximately nine months elapsed from the time the makeready phase began and the groundbreaking ceremony. The other photos in the collage represent some of the construction sequences that brought the project to Sunday, May 22, 2016, when the dignitaries gathered for the groundbreaking ceremony. The final and largest image in the collage is of the northeast elevation of the completed hospitals on the Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Campus. This photo was taken at twilight on the day after the Certificate of Occupancy was granted. The majority of the images on this website represent the 1,802 construction days between the groundbreaking ceremony and the Certificate Occupancy.

Loma Linda University Health posted an announcement on facebook which reads:

“California’s Office of Statewide Planning and Development has approved our Certificate of Occupancy for the Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Campus!

“This monumental achievement has been reached through the hard work, proayers, and faith of so many people. We are incredibly grateful to everyone for the contributions made during this journey. This is truly a moment of thanksgiving and gratitude to God for his blessings.”
