Located in Cedars-Sinai’s existing Advanced Health Sciences Pavilion (AHSP), the project consists of 45,000 square feet of outpatient surgery space as a complete tenant improvement (TI) build out of a shell space on Level 4 of the building. The new Level 4 outpatient surgery floor includes 13 operating rooms, 16 pre-op stations, 17 post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stations, associated support spaces, and a new patient elevator connecting Levels 4 and 5. A new pharmacy on Level 5 was created to support procedures on both levels. (Note: AHSP was designed by HOK.)
The Knight Cancer Research Building (KCRB) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) serves a singular mission: to end cancer as we know it. To achieve this, the Knight Cancer Institute championed a “team science” approach that encourages scientists to work differently, performing interdisciplinary early detection research in an environment upholding collaboration, connections, and shared resources. The KCRB breaks down barriers in order to build up scientists to do their best and most innovative work all in the name of a cure.
Alda Ly Architecture (ALA) has completed the inaugural location of Liv by Advantia Health, a comprehensive women’s health practice in downtown Washington D.C. Designed by the all-female architecture studio, Liv is a caring, comforting environment that cultivates community and empowers women to make educated health choices. Areas for patients and staff are approached with the same level of attention and thoughtfulness, driven by the goal of making all women who enter the building feel at ease and supported.
The Center for Cancer Research and Treatment project promoted by the Luis Carlos Sarmiento Angulo Foundation is located to the north of the city of Bogotá surrounded by green zones and with the hills of Los Cerros as the backdrop. The building faces the mountains, maximizing access to the views and creating a sequence of interior and exterior spaces that reconnect the patient to natural surroundings that, due to the favorable climatic conditions, can be used all year round.

A Building Integrated In Sant Pau’s Historical Enclosure
The new Research Institute of Sant Pau is a building where research and construction technology is a component of all architectural and construction design processes to achieve the maximum possible benefits with the minimum environmental, material and economic cost.
The 9,700m2 building has two basements, a ground floor and 3 floors, and is located on the street of Sant Quintí, between the modern Casa de la Convalescència and the new hospital. A large porch on the ground floor makes it a new access to the Sant Pau site. This porch is in the center of the building, aligned with the Carrer de la Torre Vélez.
The groundbreaking Population Health Facility establishes a new type of venue for interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. The 290,000-square-foot building is conceived as a hybrid facility designed to respond directly to the mission of the University of Washington’s Population Health Initiative—a 25-year vision to address the most persistent and emerging challenges affecting human health, environmental resilience and social and economic equity across the globe. The $230 million building supports this goal by bringing related yet disparate specialties together in the pursuit of global health and a world where all people can live healthier and more fulfilling lives.
“The building and the project as a whole has come to reflect, in a small way, the Population Health Initiative,” notes Sian Roberts, FAIA, corporate executive for the project and partner at Miller Hull. “Together with a wide range of client and user groups, we are imagining how space can support such a complex and inspirational mission.”
The building was constructed on a surface parking lot at the intersection of 39th Street and Rainbow Boulevard, a prominent corner at the gateway to the University of Kansas Medical Center. As the campus continues to grow, the Health Education Building will emerge as the geographical center and interdisciplinary resource among the existing concentration of clinical, research, and educational buildings.
Program:
The new construction includes classrooms, simulation labs, clinical skills rooms, student life space, and a 250-foot-long bridge spanning adjacent to 39th Street. The program emphasizes emerging learning spaces that support inter-professional and team-based learning, from large-scale learning studios to state-of-the-art clinical skills and simulation laboratories. Responding to the growing importance of social learning outside of the classroom, a wide variety of study environments and community life spaces, as well as street-front retail, comprise a significant portion of the overall building program.
BioCruces is the Medical Research Institute of the Cruces Teaching Hospital, a healthcare reference within the Basque Country, with a solid history of teaching and research. Its goals include the promotion, cohesion and support of research groups that make up the Institute in order to develop quality translational research and promote effective innovation and collaboration with other entities.
Up until the construction of the new facility, the institute carried out its activity within the general services building of the Cruces hospital, also designed by IDOM. Part of its activity will continue to run there, aside from the new building, its purpose complementary to the main operation.
The Princess Máxima Center in Utrecht opened in May 2018. From that point onwards, all healthcare, research and training in the Netherlands related to children with cancer is concentrated in one place.
Every year 600 children aged anywhere up to 18 are diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately, the treatment options are getting better all the time and more than 75% of patients can now expect to be cured. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement: the proportion of patients cured should be raised to 100%, the side effects and late effects of treatment need to be reduced and by 2020 the Princess Máxima Center aims to be one of the world’s top five paediatric oncology research institutes in the world.
