A model of a new plan to rebuild St. Luke's hospital on Cesar Chavez Street.

The crew at MissionMission offers us some thoughts and photos on the future of St. Luke’s Hospital.

The complete rebuild of St. Luke’s on Cesar Chavez and Valencia is about to begin, and the snazzy new website has some renderings of what the new buildings will look like once they’re complete. While getting rid of St. Luke’s remarkably bland corner building is obviously a huge win, the best part is that the hospital will be able to serve more people and will actually make it through an earthquake.

As MissionMission notes, it was a big battle to settle on the final plans for this renovation. Here’s our rundown of the final compromise in 2013 and a summary in the thick of the debate from 2010.
