key achievements

  • First LEED-certified radiation treatment center of its kind.
  • Diverted approximately 80,000 pounds of concrete from landfill through modular construction.
  • Integrated 25% more efficient HVAC system.
  • Reduced material waste compared to conventional building methods.
  • Utilized 100% recyclable materials in ventilated rain screen system.

  • Fully shielded radiotherapy treatment vault.
  • TomoTherapy® Hi-Art radiation treatment suite.
  • Dedicated patient reception and registration area.

case study summary

A Cancer Institute approached Whitley with the challenge of creating a temporary radiotherapy clinic that had a compelling design, houses all the features and amenities of a permanent facility, and would be built with modular construction principles to save time and money for the overall project.

The building will support patients of the Cancer Institute and ensure a safe and secure radiotherapy environment for both staff and patient.

Located in a tight worksite traditional construction would have been limited in numerous ways when trying to utilize heavy equipment. Using Whitley’s experience in modular construction the building was able to be built 35 minutes from the work site allowing logistic costs to be minimal.

Whitley’s modular design and construction experience in partnership with the Sunbelt Dealer’s experience in radiotherapy clinics allowed for the building to be built, delivered, and in use in record time.
