MLK Community Health Building

Designed by HKS and built by ConAm Building Co., the MLK Community Health Building is the first stand-alone medical office building developed as part of the more than $1 billion medical campus transformation centered on the MLK Community Hospital.

The Project provides primary care for the local community, as well as outpatient services including dialysis, wound care and imaging. This reduces the low-acuity patient load to the main hospital, providing the surrounding neighborhoods with unprecedented access to health and well-being equity.

The project also achieved LEED beta features including Social Equity with the Community for the Project’s use of 45% local tier hiring, meeting diversity requirements in hiring and keeping 200 construction jobs within Los Angeles. The project also contributed to the local economy through employing local healthcare providers in the finished space. Additionally, the Project earned the Water Restoration Certification beta feature for their innovative water offsets, while achieving almost 30% indoor water use reduction and 27% outdoor water use reduction. The parking lot provides 6 electric vehicle charging stations in prime parking locations for those not using the ample local transit or site’s impressive walkability and connectivity to the local neighborhood and services.
