"A Unique Partnership -- The Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA

The complexion of pediatric medical care in Southern California was forever changed in November 1998 when Mattel announced that the Mattel Children's Foundation had pledged $25 million in a multi-year commitment toward construction of a new children's hospital at UCLA. In appreciation for Mattel's commitment, UCLA declared that both the existing facility and the new facility, which began construction in 2000 and will open in 2005, would be renamed the Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA.

A hospital within a hospital, the new Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA, once completed, will occupy one entire floor of the new UCLA Medical Center, and will have its own distinct entrance and lobby.
With 100,000 square feet of space, the Mattel Children's Hospital will feature a 99-bed Inpatient Unit, 12-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and a 20-bed level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a distinction held for hospitals that serve the most critically ill children. The hospital is already recognized worldwide as a leader in neurology, nephrology, immunology, cardiology, molecular biology and genetics, pediatric pain, and hematology/oncology.

The stunning facility has been designed by world-renowned architect I.M. Pei, who also designed the Grand Louvre in Paris and the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Incorporating gracefully curving forms, natural light rooftop gardens, and spacious single rooms, the design of the new hospital reflects openness, provides flexibility for use of space, and, above all, is people-friendly.

Mattel's $25 million pledge, payable over multiple years, is the largest single commitment ever made by the Mattel Children's Foundation and the largest gift ever made to a children's hospital by a corporation or corporate foundation."
