The leading-edge institute also houses 87 infusion chemotherapy bays, three linear accelerators, a breast center and imaging services as well as two parking garages.

The new central energy plant and electrical utility vault provide 2,800 tons of chilled water and backup power to the facility. Energy-efficient features consist of a heat recovery chiller, high-performance glazing, energy recovery ventilators to pre-condition outside air and a low lighting power density, further reducing the cooling load.
