More Than a Building
Designed entirely around patients, the new UMMC Cancer Center and Research Institute is a bold
step toward National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation—opening doors to groundbreaking
discoveries and lifesaving treatments for generations to come.
Building Features

The Main Floor
This bright, welcoming space will feature a cancer resource center open to the public, a chapel and room for patient and family support groups. From the moment patients and families arrive, they will feel welcomed and cared for.

Interdisciplinary Clinics
In these clinics, an entire team of specialists can see a patient during a single visit and refine care plans in real time. For patients, that means fewer visits and less waiting.
Infusion Suites
An open floor plan and comfortable semi-private and private infusion rooms allow patients to receive their treatments in privacy, safety and comfort.


Dedicated Clinical Trial Spaces
Completing the new building and earning NCI designation will allow us to expand the number and scope of clinical trials we offer, bringing more hope to patients.

Dedicated Research Laboratories
Here, researchers and physicians can work together to translate research into patient care more quickly. This investment will also help us to recruit new research talent to our state.
