The overall investment for the hospital is 3.2 billion,[clarification needed] with a building area of 310,000 square metres (3,300,000 sq ft).

Perkins Eastman proposed a 280,000 square metres (3,000,000 sq ft), 12-story hospital for the 3-hectare (7.4-acre) parcel of land located about 32 km (20 mi) northwest of central Beijing.

The landscaped square gives the site a defined border, and the circular ambulatory care and cancer center building harmoniously organize different large-scale program elements.

Patient bed towers are carefully sited to comply with requirements for direct exposure to the south to provide light and views.

The two-phase plan calls for 2,000 hospital beds, an ambulatory care center to serve 10,000 outpatients daily, and a large emergency department with adult and pediatric areas.
