ah, tis a bit sad, I have faint memories of the clinic itself being a nice little building. The clinic, ahem, my former employer, was not up to par medically, as far as I knew, to its really exciting partner at the time, the Scripps Research Foundation, which I presume does have a new and better facility. At least back then, they had wonderful research going on, top of the line, and I as a med tech intern could go over for the lectures.
Sorry, tangent, tangent, but I hope we do tangents on a lot of the photos to come.
On my own of the previous page, I've tried to downsize them and they still stretch the page, for which I apologize. Now they are probably only fuzzier.
Edit to say condos could work. I am not sure what I would have liked to see it turn into. There is already an art museum.. (I trust that is still there).
Scripps Clinic and Sripps Research Foundation is up on Torrey Pines,
next to the Golfcourse with breathtaking views of the golf course and
the Pacific. IF you ever have to be in a hospital, this is the place to be.
Scripps outgrew the place at S.Coast and had to find larger facilities.
For the longest time the building stood empty and after a long battle
with the coastal commission, the condo conversion was granted.
I have to find a picture of it, as they are quite beautiful designed.
The Museum of Contemporary Art is still there, and up at UCSD the
LJ Playhouse is also a popular place.
