GBMC HealthCare in Baltimore, Maryland recently began a multi-phase renovation of its radiation oncology unit, marking a significant investment in patient experience, clinical efficiency and continuity of care. The project, which launched in January, will completely transform the existing 12,000-square-foot space while allowing patients to continue receiving treatment throughout construction.
Planning for the renovation has been underway for nearly two years, involving extensive collaboration among clinical leaders, facilities, safety teams and design partners. Initial construction activities began with the installation of infection control barriers and phased demolition. The project is expected to be completed in spring 2027.
The renovated unit is designed to feel like a seamless extension of the Sandra R. Berman Pavilion, GBMC’s new home for cancer care, completed and fully operational as of February 2025. Featuring similar finishes and a more welcoming, cohesive atmosphere, patients will also benefit from direct access to radiation oncology via the Berman garage and elevator post-renovation, improving accessibility and eliminating confusing multi-elevator routes.
The renovation is supported through a significant philanthropic effort and will continue to serve patients within the Sheila K. Riggs Radiation Oncology Unit. The total project investment is estimated at $6 million. Project partners include Hord Coplan Macht and Consolidated Medical Services.
