| Loudoun Cancer Care Center opens at Lansdowne Campus |
|
The Loudoun Cancer Care Center, previously located off-campus, is the first tenant of the new Medical Office Building (MOB) located on the Lansdowne campus. It will now facilitate treatment of the hospital's in-patients as well. The primary objectives for the building were to develop a structure and layout that would support highly technical healthcare tenants as well as be cost effective to construct and maintain. The Center was an integral part of our design for the MOB, particularly from the standpoint of the Linear Accelerator's location and overall aesthetic appeal. A planned healing garden will wrap around the exterior with a pondless waterfall along the side and a second one behind the front seating area.
The focus for the Center's interior space was placed on operational efficiency for the staff as well as patient privacy and comfort throughout their treatment. To create a soothing environment, natural textures and light, carefully selected color palettes, and greenery were incorporated throughout the space. A unique water feature, located in the waiting area, was donated by a member of the architectural team. The center's Chief Therapist and Dosimetrist, quoted in the hospital's newsletter, said "I'm so proud to be a part of the new Cancer Center project. Key to the success of the layout of the space, the design and functionality of the center has been staff input and involvement in the planning. The Center will be very non-clinical in appearance, offering a soothing environment." |
