The 10-story, state-of-the-art cancer research facility includes a pile supported, poured-in-place concrete parking garage with a structural steel frame. The exterior façade consists of a glass curtain wall system, aluminum composite metal panels, and architectural pre-cast concrete panels. Because the cancer center is home to very sensitive samples and experiments, the construction team went to great lengths to make sure outside vibrations would not affect them. Any vibration, even from a car in the garage seven stories below, could jeopardize research results. For this reason, the design and construction execution of this project incorporated innovative techniques to include use of BIM for extensive coordination necessary on a building of this complexity. A separate contract was issued for the fit-out of two floors. Both 25,000 sf floors accommodate the growing need for continuing cancer research. The LCRC partners with Louisiana State University, Tulane University and Xavier University.
