L
EADERS AT EMORY Healthcare and Winship Cancer
Institute at Emory University (Atlanta) made it
clear from the beginning that they had big ambitions
for their new building. They told the design team:
Give us something " never before seen or imagined. "
The new facility, occupying 450,000 square feet
in Atlanta's Midtown neighborhood, was designed
by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM; New York)
in collaboration with May Architecture (Atlanta)-with
input from 200-plus physicians, nurses,
janitors, patient family advisers, and more, says SOM Principal Anthony
Treu. " Anybody who could possibly be involved with this project was
asked to come and share, 'How do you do things now? And how do you
want to do things differently?' " he says.
Then they dug in deep. " Clinical teams are so adept at working around
obstacles on a daily basis that when faced with the chance to create an ideal

relaxed entry point for
patients in the busy heart
of Atlanta's Midtown
neighborhood. " We hope

DNA double-helix sculpture
and oculus in the covered
motor court add aesthetic

Ramalingam, the institute's
executive director.
but ultimately everyone started shifting from
'this works' to 'this is what we think would be
the best solution without constraints.' "
Opened in May 2023, the 17-story facility ultimately
embraced a model organized around
five " care communities, " each focused on different
types of cancer: breast and gynecologic
oncology; head and neck tumors; sarcoma and
endocrine cancers; genitourinary and gastrointestinal
cancers; and lung cancer, lymphoma,
and multiple myeloma. Each care community
comprises two floors: the lower floor for outpatient
services and the upper for inpatient care.
Within those communities, the patient is
quite literally at the center of the action. " Patients
remain in a private outpatient suite and
as much of their care as possible-including
doctors' appointments, lab draws, infusion
