University of Rochester James P. Wilmot Cancer Center

The James P. Wilmot Cancer Center will be one of a few state-of-the-art comprehensive cancer facilities in the United States. A comprehensive center combines research and treatment in one structure. This interaction between researchers and doctors has led to many of the most successful treatment developments for cancer to date.



The building design maximizes interaction between building occupants to foster enhanced communication and greater innovation. The enclosed three-story glass atrium is the main feature which allows visual and physical connectivity between the patients, clinical treatment areas and research.



The building consists of 165,000 square feet on four floors. The ground floor consists of the treatment areas, the first floor contains the clinical spaces, the second floor conference and office space, the third floor wet and dry laboratory research space and the penthouse contains most of the mechanical space.



The building is designed to blend in with the existing medical center, especially the ambulatory care facility which the building abuts, yet bring a new contemporary aesthetic with its curved glass facade facing the current traffic loop.



The Cancer Center is designed as a LEED Certifiable building, maximizing as many sustainable features as achievable within the project budget constraints.
