The Huntsville Radiation Oncology Clinic, operated by Genesis Medical Group, was designed by BB&W Architects to bring a full-service outpatient oncology clinic to serve Huntsville and the surrounding areas. This facility was formerly an outpatient imaging center which was long abandoned over the years. The project revitalizes the facility with an interior renovation of the existing 5,500 SF, the addition of 1,700 SF to accommodate a linear accelerator vault and the complete re-cladding of the exterior.
The new facility includes the linear accelerator vault and control area, CT-Room, Dosimetry, Pharmacy, Infusion Suite, Chemo. Mixing and Hood Rooms, and other Ancillary Support spaces. Space for a future MRI room was also provided. New imaging and treatment equipment (Varian High Energy Clinic and GE Discovery RT computerized tomography), along with new mechanical systems, electrical circuiting, and interior finishes are included.
Comprehensive treatment center that brings cancer examination, treatment planning, diagnostic imaging, chemical oncology (infusion), radiation oncology, all under one roof. The infusion suite was designed to be open to give the nurse an unobstructed view that will facilitate personalized attention to the unique needs of the patient.
We assisted with medical equipment planning, existing building feasibility studies, and professional renderings of the building exterior. The A/E team collaborated closely with the general contractor to evaluate an alternative design for the mechanical system which resulted in cost and time savings to the client. The maze-less linear accelerator vault consisted of high-density concrete, measuring 8ft thick at the primary beam, 4ft 2in walls and a 2ft 9in roof.
