Located in Upper Manhattan, the center places researchers, clinicians, educators, and patients in an integrated environment with state-of-the-art technology.

The 11-story building is specifically designed to foster multi-disciplinary interaction through a network of formal and informal settings.

The primary design objective was to craft a flexible environment that would be inspiring and supportive for employees while gracious and dignified for patients and their families.

Inside, natural light and a warm, simple material palette puts cancer patients at ease.

On the exterior, the building features brick and glass, and ample glazing on the ground level helps create a welcoming aesthetic.

Located in an economically challenged neighborhood, the building shares its compact site with a residential tower built concurrently to offset the medical center’s cost.
