This transformation of existing offices into a new Cancer Infusion Clinic represents a first for Stanford Health Care: a test case to advance a modular approach to planning, design and construction—specifically, vacuum plumbing, casegoods, and wall panels—into clinical facilities. Together with a subsequent renovation on the same floor, this exciting innovation will provide agility for rapid change over time, improve infection control, lower project and liability costs, and minimize disruption and waste.
Located in the Stanford Advanced Medicine Center/Cancer Center (AMC), a specialty outpatient facility that supports translational medicine and advances in cancer research and treatment, in an environment that focuses on humanity, compassion and concern, the project is also the first phase of a renovation program delivered in two parts, to expand the AMC by relocating clinical functions from an adjacent building to its second floor.
Integrating vacuum plumbing, the project consolidates 11 semi-private treatment rooms, staggered along the east perimeter wall of the building to provide patients with access to ample daylight and views to the outdoors. Glass partitions and sliding doors, featuring decorative film, elevate the penetration of light into the clinic, while providing patient privacy. Organized along a central circulation spine with staff work stations, patient support equipment, and a pneumatic tube system, the clinic also comprises two private treatment rooms, blood draw, and support facilities.
