Stanford University is constructing the $161-million Center for Cancer Treatment and Prevention/Ambulatory Care Pavilion. Slated to open in spring of 2004, the oncology center will unite Stanford's diagnostic, treatment and research facilities in a single location. The center will house 150,000 sf of cancer care space including a multidisciplinary cancer clinic, mammography and diagnostic radiology units, a radiation therapy suite, a 24-hour infusion center providing chemotherapy, a clinical research suite, a patient resource center, a pharmacy, a conference center, and nutrition services.
The center will also house outpatient surgery and ambulatory care facilities with 16 operating rooms, an endoscopic surgery center, the ophthalmology program, the sports medicine surgery suite, and temporary surgery facilities for Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. The center features patient-comfort attributes such as a natural-light-filled three-story atrium, fountains, and gardens. Construction of the center began in September of 2001 and is slated for completion by the end of 2003.
