Mission Hospitals - Outpatient Cancer Center
Asheville, NC, United States
To provide easily accessible oncology services for the community and region, Mission Hospitals consolidated their services into one location. The new comprehensive cancer care program occupied a 117,000 square foot five-level freestanding building on its main campus in Asheville, North Carolina.
Mission Hospitals’ Vision 2020 — A Healthier Community — is to improve the health of the people of western North Carolina and the surrounding region.
This facility provides an integrated patient experience including diagnos¬tic, treatment, and support services offered to patients and family members to create a comprehensive center between the various cancer providers in a single location.
The cancer center seeks to create a sustainable, as well as, a physical and spiritual healing environment by providing easily accessible resources to patient and family members, access to views and natural light, and the use of warm non-institutional regional materials.
Situated on a steeply sloped site, the landscape has been terraced and utilized as an integral design element. Spaces within the cancer care program that would normally not receive any natural daylight, such as the radiation therapy and PET CT suite on the terrace level, now would have access to natural light from skylights and windows in patient care and treatment areas.
The radiation therapy suite will accom¬modate space for two linear accelerators, one cyber knife, and CT Simulator room. The PET CT suite will be accessed through its own entrance but will benefit from an adjacency to the radiation therapy space for shared support services. Organized around a ‘Great Hall’ with stone fireplaces, the main level consists of patient support services, such as a resource library, education and conference rooms, patient advocacy, spiritual meditation, café, and retail boutique — all having access to landscaped terrace areas and a future roof garden.
The second level consists of pediatric/adolescent oncology infusion, multidisci¬plinary clinics, cancer registry, and research administrative offices. The third level consists of an adult infusion center while the fourth level is optioned for physician office suites.
At the roof level, a future terrace garden is planned for outdoor activities and extensive views to the mountains and the Asheville skyline.An adjacent parking garage is conveniently accessible from the terrace and main levels of the center for patients, family members, and oncology staff.
Through its use of indigenous materials, such as, wood and stone, its access to natural light, its orientation to garden views and mountain vistas, the proposed Outpatient Cancer Center establishes a comprehensive oncology service for cancer patients, a welcoming space that embodies the community’s regional context and a connection to the natural spirit.
