The featured image for this post is of the new Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital and Loma Linda University Medical Center on the Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Campus as viewed from the northwest corner of Parking Structure P4. The Medical Center is the taller of the two towers. The Children’s Hospital is in the foreground.

CAMPUS HISTORY

If Only I Could Have Seen in My Mind’s Eye, the New Hospital Towers Captured Through My Camera Lens on June 28, 2021, and Superimposed Over the Photo I Took on September 28, 2015.

Near the corner of Anderson Street and Prospect Avenue where the Mary ‘M’ Apartments once stood. Today, the Northeast Parking Lot is in the foreground.
If only I could have imaged! The present day northeast parking lot (June 28, 2021) superimposed over the September 28, 2015, image.
At the time I took this photo on September 28, 2015, I had no idea I would revisit the image on June 30, 2021.

The Landscaping Begins Around the Northeast Parking Lot

The Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Campus as viewed from the corner of Anderson Street and Prospect Avenue.
By afternoon most of the trees were stationed where they will be planted.
By 6:30 AM (06.28.21) several truckloads of trees were unloaded (lower center of the image). Later in the day, the trees would be placed near the sections they will be planted.

In one months time, the palm tree, the shrubs and the wrought iron fence have been removed from the median. The storm drain vault and conduit have been exposed for relocation as they are where the caissons need to be drilled.
The view (from the parking structure P4 exit) of the median where excavation for the relocation of the storm drain conduits and vault has begun.
