Sharpe Interior Systems, Inc. is proud to have played a central role in delivering this transformative campus, redefining healthcare construction through innovation, stunning interior craftsmanship, and executional excellence.

​

As the drywall contractor for all four major campus structures, our team’s expertise helped bring this complex, first-of-its-kind medical campus to life. It includes:

 

• Acute Care Hospital (OSHPD-1) – 352,000 SF: 7 floors specializing in Neurosciences, Oncology, Spine, and Orthopedics

• Ambulatory Care Center (OSHPD-3) – 225,000 SF: Now home to the Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center

• Central Utility Plant – 46,000 SF: Supports all-electric campus operations

• 8-Story Parking Structure: Built for high-capacity access and convenience for patients, staff, and visitors.

​

At more than 800,000 square feet, the new UC Irvine Medical Center is the nation’s first all-electric hospital complex, powered entirely by renewable energy via the UCI electric grid. It’s a bold commitment to reducing healthcare’s carbon footprint and features the following:

• Solar-paneled rooftops

• All-electric chillers for heating & cooling

• Recycled water systems

• Zero fossil fuel use for daily operations

​

But this project isn’t just about power, it’s about people and place. The interior environments are where healing happens. Sharpe’s craftsmanship helped shape elegant, high-performing spaces that are both welcoming and efficient, supporting patient well-being and clinical excellence.

​

The Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center & Ambulatory Care Building, a state-of-the-art facility where world-class cancer care meets sustainable design, was the first building to open in June of last year. This NCI-designated center reimagines outpatient care with advanced diagnostics, personalized treatment, and seamless patient experiences, all within a beautifully finished, all-electric environment.

 

Interior Highlights include:​

• Women’s Health Center with a full range of services

• 26 infusion rooms with 42 total bays, offering tranquil wetland views

• 144 Patient Beds

• 18 outpatient Operating Suites

• 52 Private Exam Rooms

• Same-day discharge surgical suites, including advanced prostate cancer procedures

• One of Orange County’s largest clinical trial programs

• Personalized radiation therapy with MRI-guided linear acceleration

• Full-service imaging suite (MRI, PET, CT, ultrasound, interventional radiology)

• Subspecialty clinics for women’s cancer care and breast health

• On-site pharmacy, lab, and café for patients, families, and staff
