Jeffrey Berman assisted The Farber Center in finding a space that would accommodate its program in ground floor retail tenant space, then presenting the program and associated infrastruxture requirements to uilding management and finally designing the Center to achieve minimal impact on the exiting bilding and its other tenants.
JBA assenbled and coordinated the work of a large and complex project team to work with the owner and a number of city agencies to complete the project.
The Farber Cetner features two nigh-energy ELEKTA linear accelerators and an HDR + Brachytherapy suite that required shielded vaults weighing two million pounds each. Their mass required that they be built on their own independent foundations and capped in additional space rented on the floor above.
The spa-like treatment center, which includes spacious dessing rooms, flora aquaria and luxurious leather furniture, accessories and finishes, is warm, welcoming and luxurious and not at all institutional.
