A new satellite location for The Doctors of USC in Beverly Hills is a step closer to reality. USC recently signed a nine-year lease agreement, valued at $8 million, for 14,195 square feet of medical office space at Archway Medical Plaza, a premiere medical office campus at 9033 Wilshire Boulevard.

The Doctors of USC Beverly Hills, affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine, is scheduled to open in fall 2010 and will be located in suites 300 and 500 of the building, at the northwest corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Wetherly Drive.

The Doctors of USC Beverly Hills will offer the latest treatments from top specialists. Advanced care through cutting-edge therapies and clinical trials will be offered, as will continuing medical education for community physicians.

The initial focus will be on ophthalmology and cancer care, providing a complete range of sub-specialties to deliver comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services.

"This vital center brings the care and expertise of The Doctors of USC closer to Westside communities," said Carmen A. Puliafito, dean of the Keck School. "The Doctors of USC Beverly Hills center is a dramatic demonstration of the Keck School of Medicine's commitment to advancing the art and science of medicine for our local community."

The center will feature patient exam and treatment rooms, an on-site laboratory and pharmacy, and valet parking. A USC Boardroom, Trojan Hospitality Room, and a medical education video conferencing center are also planned. Future services include a mens health center, womens health center and imaging center.

The 50,000-square-foot Archway Medical Plaza is the newest, state-of-the-art medical building in Beverly Hills. Designed by Sim & Associates, 9033 Wilshire offers distinctive architectural style with steel and glass construction and artistic elements such as a 14-foot by 20-foot glass mural in the lobby designed to continuously change colors using an energy efficient LED system. The mural was designed by lighting artist David Steinitz using the same system installed at Los Angeles International Airport on the color changing columns near the entrance on Century Blvd.

The plaza courtyard boasts a 30-foot by 40-foot art installation of an aluminum-weave orchid mural designed by Youn Woo Chaa, a multimedia artist whose work is collected by international museums.
