CANCER CENTERS

CANCER CENTERS As the treatment of cancer patients has evolved over the past 30 years, added attention and value has been given to the care environment. More acceptance around the understanding that comforting and respectful spaces contribute to the healing process has resulted in a heightened awareness on facility design. Little has set the intention of contributing to the improvement of cancer center design in an impactful way. Our team has been involved in the design and planning of diagnostic, treatment, research, and integrative oncology programs. We strongly encourage our clients to include patient experience design workshops in the process to ensure patients have a voice in design decisions. We have learned that cancer survivors have a strong desire to contribute to helping future patients and we design with that in mind.

LEVINE CANCER INSTITUTE — BUILDING II Charlotte, NC (260,000 sf) Atrium Health The Levine Cancer Institute, the first multi-site cancer center in the world to be certified by the Planetree Organization, has a mission of providing a comforting experience for patients, families, and caregivers as they journey toward healing. Patient experience workshops, facilitated in collaboration with the Patient/Family Advisory Council, informed the design’s core guiding principles of celebrating interaction, supporting the journey, providing holistic care, and honoring mind/body/ spirit. These principles are embodied in the numerous experience elements found throughout, namely the interfaith chapel, centralized lab/registration area, improved dining facilities, infusion bays with vegetative roof views, and extensive natural light.

CONE HE A LT H CA NCER CEN T ER AT W ESL E Y LONG Greensboro, NC (48,805 sf) Cone Health Though the primary focus of this project was a new breast center, Little’s expansion design also alleviated existing workflow and patient privacy pain points by doubling the family waiting area, expanding the current lab and pharmacy areas and providing enhanced privacy for patients undergoing chemotherapy. In addition, the renovations incorporated more storage space in the scan rooms while simultaneously providing a calming, relaxing environment for patients by implementing full-wall murals and SkyFactory ceiling panels.

A high dose radiation suite was also added within the existing space as well as a new patient support services area that overlooks the two-story atrium lobby. The second floor renovations included, expanded educational classrooms, conference space and a 100-seat auditorium.

L E V INE CHIL DREN ’S HOSPI TA L – MIBG THERAPY SUITE Charlotte, NC (495 sf) Atrium Health One of the core objectives in designing the first MIBG therapy suite in Charlotte was to create an environment that promotes the holistic well-being of pediatric patients. With the radioactive nature of MIBG treatment, patients are isolated from their families and caregivers to limit the risk of exposure. Little was able to minimize this isolation and allow for constant patient monitoring by converting two existing rooms into a unique therapy suite design; one that features a treatment room for the patient and a protected adjoining room for parents, caregivers and staff with a lead-lined window between. The environment of the patient room is further enhanced through a specialized, fiber optic light system that mirrors a starry night with planets and shooting stars.
