Spanning three stories and 70,243 square feet, this state-of-the-art Cancer Center consolidates diverse cancer care services into a cohesive and advanced center, strategically located adjacent to the North entrance of Franciscan Health Lafayette East Campus.
The construction progress was marked by key achievements including primary steel erection, with iron workers finalizing detailing on brick ledges and canopy steel. Tonn and Blank innovatively utilized temporary wall panels to enable continuous work during winter, facilitating the pouring of elevated concrete slabs on the second and third floors. Substantial concrete pours had taken place, including the completion of the west half of the second floor slab and ongoing work on the east half of the third floor slab, the final major pour of the project.
It’s important that we self-perform these construction activities to ensure better control over quality, schedule, and costs, leading to more efficient project execution.
The Lafayette Cancer Center integrates a comprehensive range of cutting-edge technologies and patient-focused services, including:
- Oncology Infusion Therapy
- Radiation Oncology featuring Elekta Versa HD linear accelerator
- Comprehensive Breast Center with 3D Imaging and a Dedicated Breast Surgeon
- Specialty Cancer Clinics
- Oncology Clinical Research
- Oncology Nurse Navigators
- Genetic Testing and Counseling
- Palliative Care Team
- Spiritual Care
- Community Support Groups/Cancer Survivorship
- Comprehensive Lab Service
Tonn and Blank’s off-site construction facility prefabricated 143 exterior EIFS panels, which were then delivered and installed on the south and east elevations of the cancer center. This approach streamlined the construction process, ensuring higher quality control and efficiency while minimizing on-site disruptions.
