Design unveiled for new Calgary Cancer Centre

Set to open in 2023, the provincial government shared the design for the new Calgary Cancer Centre on Thursday.

The facility will be constructed at the Foothills Medical Centre site on the current parking Lot 7.

Work on the centre is planned to begin this year. PCL Construction Management Inc. has been selected to complete the design and construction of the facility, which will cost $1.4 billion.

“Our government is working to make life better for Albertans, that’s why we are investing in new schools, hospitals, personal care homes, and this long-overdue cancer centre for patients and families in Calgary and Southern Alberta,” Premier Rachel Notley explained. “I’m so proud to see this badly needed new Cancer Centre take its next step. The choice of the successful design and builder means shovels will be in the ground later this year.”

Services at the new centre will include:

– outpatient cancer clinics
– more than 100 patient exam rooms
– 160 inpatient unit beds
– more than 100 chemotherapy chairs
– clinical and operational support services
– double the space for clinical trials
– research laboratories
– 12 radiation vaults
– double the capacity to treat patients with the best technology
– new on-site underground parking

The new Calgary Cancer Centre will be constructed at the Foothills Medical Centre site on the current parking Lot 7. Construction of the CCC is planned to commence in 2017 with the new facility completed and operational in 2023.
