Sq Footage: 217,000

Architects: Babcock Design

This world-class facility on the University of Utah campus provides research, clinical, and informational services for cancer patients. The stone veneer and glass structure reaches six stories tall, and its 217,000 square feet includes office space, three floors of research laboratories, a restaurant, a 300-seat auditorium, and a parking garage. The facility is composed of two different structures connected by an expansion joint. One portion houses 60,000 square feet of offices and is steel frame construction. The other section is laboratory space made of structural concrete for vibration resistance. The project was completed on time despite a $23 million owner-initiated increase in scope.
