A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the state of Illinois’ first standalone structure dedicated to cancer care and research. The University of Chicago Medicine’s 575,000-square-foot, seven-story pavilion builds off the university’s decades of work and leadership in cancer research.
Expected to open to patients in spring 2027, the building will allow UChicago Medicine’s clinicians, physician-scientists and researchers to better collaborate with colleagues. The team of more than 200 people works in more than five different buildings on the Hyde Park campus. The new facility will be the central point of cancer research efforts, new therapy development, clinical advancements and other discoveries.
The $815-million project features 80 inpatient beds, 90 outpatient exam rooms and dedicated imaging, infusion and clinical trial spaces. The project team includes CannonDesign and Turner Construction.
