“(Cannon Design) has created a concept that revolves around patient needs with well-planned interior spaces, and an abundance of natural light which will serve nurses, physicians and patients well. I am confident that the Cancer Hospital’s distinct form and the way the building relates to its surroundings—particularly its landscape—will not only be received well by our patients, but will enhance the architectural quality of the city of Cleveland.”Thomas F. Zenty, III Chief Executive Officer, University Hospitals
Description
Located on the University Hospitals Case Medical Center campus, the 320,000 sf Cancer Hospital triples the size of the existing hospital, consolidating activities previously dispersed among seven different locations, optimizing patient care, and fostering synergy among providers. Continuity with the surrounding campus fabric, connectivity with adjacent buildings, creation of a gateway to the campus, and clear patient wayfinding were all important design considerations, as was the integration of healing gardens. Clinical pods for cancer treatment are designed to address specific patient populations. Additional services include patient and public education programs, diagnostic imaging, infusion therapy, radiation oncology, an expanded breast center, and conference facilities.
