Hospital to be named for Reagan By The Associated Press A 525-bed hospital being built to replace earthquake-damaged UCLA Medical Center will be named after Ronald Reagan, officials announced Wednesday. The 10-story Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center is expected to open in 2004. The existing hospital, built in 1951, was rocked by the magnitude 6.7 Northridge earthquake six years ago. The new building will be able to survive a magnitude 8.4 earthquake, with outer panels that move as much as 3 feet during a big temblor, according to UCLA officials. UCLA Chancellor Albert Carnesale made the announcement at a news conference, where Nancy Reagan thanked donors "for making this wonderful project possible". "He would be so proud, so pleased to have this new medical center…named after him," she said of Reagan. The former presided has Alzheimer’s disease and no longer makes public appearances. A $150 million fund-raising campaign in Reagan’s name was headed by billionaire entertainment executive Andrew Jerrold Perenchio, chairman of Univision. So far, it has secured $80 million in pledges from prominent Southern California civic and cultural leaders. UCLA broke ground in December on the hospital, which will cost $702 million total. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is contributing $432 million in earthquake relief funds, while the state of California has provided $44 million. Mattel Inc. has pledged $25 million.
