Artificial Grass

Turf replacements are taking place at Ronald Reagan Medical Center (RRMC) and UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center (UCLAMC, SM). A 2,300 square foot pocket park at UCLAMC, SM is adorned with artificial turf and low-maintenance landscaping, saving an estimated 57,000 gallons per year. An 800 square foot area of an outdoor patio at RRMC has been converted to artificial turf with plans to replace the remaining 4,200 square feet in the upcoming months.

Zero Blowdown

The UCLA Health Facilities Department has installed a zero-discharge system for the cooling tower water at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center, which eliminates chemicals being introduced to the sewer system from the condenser water system and significantly reduces water consumption. Approximately 10,000 gallons of water per day are saved.
