PROJECT INTENT 
The AHN Cancer Institute has become the new home for its academic cancer program. A home that embraces and supports a world-class clinical program in a patient focused, caring setting at its historic Northside location. The new cancer center streamlines and enhances cutting edge patient care by consolidating cancer services in a singular location, dedicated to providing an unparalleled patient experience in a welcoming, hopeful, and healing environment.

Cancer treatment can be a physically exhausting, emotionally draining trial. Subsequently, the primary design challenge is to house technologically complex spaces dedicated to advanced care in a compassionate and calming building designed to support the patient and family through this trial.

The caregivers who work in the facility are passionate about their work and the service that they provide their patients. Their desire was for the building to be an energetic symbol of hope: a dynamic reminder that there is a life above and beyond this illness. They wanted this facility to speak of hope and joy.
