Project Description:

This typical medical office building was repurposed into a state-of-the-art  cancer center by Altus. The design had to work within previously-established
structural constraints and circulation patterns to make additions and combining  rare equipment in one room. Project specifics:

• Houses three Linear Accelerator Vaults
• One vault houses both a Linear Accelerator and CT scanner on rails
• A screen wall shields the LINAC’s ominous gantry, hiding it from view while  providing caregivers quick access
• Other areas included diagnosis, exam, and infusion therapy, each with its own entrance to enhance patient privacy
• Special features include client-preferred private infusion rooms with adjacent open-air rooftop garden, private resource areas for patient’s families, and
  exterior healing garden
• The interior design team selected natural design elements and soft colors shift attention from medical equipment
