The Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey<\/a> (New Brunswick, N.J.) and healthcare system RWJBarnabas Health<\/a> are planning a new cancer treatment pavilion in New Brunswick, N.J., to significantly expand service offerings to people living in a state with one of the highest rates of cancer. In New Jersey, approximately 50,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year. By housing research in the same building, physician-scientists will be able to more rapidly translate scientific findings from laboratory bench to patient bedside.<\/p>\n

The 510,000-square-foot project will house research laboratory space, outpatient clinics, infusion\/chemotherapy suite, radiation oncology, imaging, surgery and inpatient services.<\/p>\n

The terracotta and glass building has been designed to sensitively respond to the scale of the existing RWJBarnabas hospital campus and surrounding neighborhood. Its diversity of uses are expressed as rhythmic patterns on the building\u2019s facades. The ground floor engages the street with active uses and transparency. A large four-story atrium links the building\u2019s two main entrances and serves as the building\u2019s center, providing patients, staff, and visitors a light-filled entry experience. The site\u2019s extensive outdoor landscaping and greenery is pulled into this lobby, where a gracefully curved stair allows occupants to traverse vertically through the building\u2019s lowest four floors. The primary corner of the building extends 11-stories above the street level and is capped with a large illuminated glass volume, which will serve as a beacon for the new pavilion.<\/p>\n

The facility will be organized into three primary components:<\/p>\n
