Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute; The Pennsylvania State University Hershey Medical Center
Hershey, PA, United States
The Cancer Institute is the first phase of an ambitious large-scale master plan at the Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Its distinctive elliptical roadway approach redefines the hospital's access, circulation and identity, and celebrates the importance of landscape at this campus by making it the generative mechanism of the master plan.
The building is an experiment in complete translational medicine as research and clinical functions are strategically mixed to encourage collaboration. Clinical functions are located on the lower three floors and research labs are located on the top two. They are dynamically linked through a five-story “beehive” atrium around which informal conference rooms, lounges, and lunch areas are gathered. An inner landscape of public courtyards and more private healing gardens separate the new building from the existing hospital. The project’s second phase, a new Children’s Hospital, is currently under construction.
“By bringing our cancer researchers and clinicians together under one roof, we have created an environment that will support the translation of scientific discoveries into meaningful advances in patient care by moving discovery more rapidly from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside.” Harold L. Paz, M.D., chief executive officer of the medical center; senior vice president for health affairs at Penn State, and the dean of the College of Medicine
Project Awards include:
CARITAS Project’s Generative Space, Health Improvement Award, 2010 Boston Society of Architects, Healthcare Facilities Design Award, 2010
