    ROLLA, Mo. – McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. has completed construction of the Delbert Day Cancer Institute, a comprehensive cancer care facility on the campus of Phelps County Regional Medical Center in Rolla, Missouri. The 37,000-square-foot facility occupies the first two levels of the new four-story, 100,470-square-foot building.

    Located at the north side of the main hospital campus, the $31.3-million building is connected to an adjacent medical office building via a pedestrian bridge. The new facility includes more than 63,000 square feet of shelled medical office space to accommodate future tenants.

    Equipped with the latest cancer treatment technologies and amenities for patients and families, the Delbert Day Cancer Institute houses radiation therapies, PET C/T, nuclear medicine, infusion therapy, medical oncology and supporting lab and pharmacy ancillary services. The first floor, which opens to an exterior healing garden, includes a lobby and registration area, retail space, a health café, education space and a community center. On the second floor, infusion services and a medical oncology clinic offer scenic views of the building’s green roof.

    To optimize efficiency, the project team employed Lean construction techniques, including the construction of prefabricated mechanical, engineering and plumbing systems directly from the BIM model to reduce site waste.

    Advanced construction technologies were also leveraged, including a semi-automated robotic mason to enhance the efficiency of bricklaying. To generate the unique geometry of the prefabricated curtainwall system and prefabricated MEP systems, the team used a robotic layout.

    The building also was the first in the Midwest region to use the Peri Maximo formwork system, designed to increase productivity on continuous pours for self-performed concrete.

    BSA LifeStructures designed the building. The Delbert Day Cancer Institute began treating patients in January 2017.
