Create a space to better meet the emotional needs of patients and families while upgrading technologies to more effectively fight cancer.
JRA and Markey Cancer Center stakeholders toured peer facilities across the country exploring best practices to better inform our design and planning decisions.
Maintain the facility’s seamless workflow and care through diligent planning in advance of the construction phase which included consideration of materials to ensure patient and staff safety.
Given the critical nature of cancer care, JRA and the Center researched cutting edge equipment including the purchase and installation of the newest linear accelerators (Halcyon) in the industry.
The redesigned floor plan affords doctors and staff the most efficient workflow to help ensure quality care.
JRA’s expertise in healthcare, through the design of similar cancer care spaces, expedited and facilitated a complex project with no margin for error.
A collaborative orientation phase which included patients, staff and doctors uncovered the wants and needs of all parties to better inform our approach to design.
