Facilities like none other...
The Georgia Cancer Center has three expressions, one laboratory-based, one clinic-based
and one education-based. Each of the Georgia Cancer Center facilities are designed
with a purpose. Using a modern, scientific approach known as evidence-based design
along with the expert advice of cancer patient advisors, our treatment facilities
bring in nature and sunlight and puts patients in charge in as many ways possible.
Our research facilities celebrate innovation, combining form with function to offer
our scientists an environment for collaboration and discovery.

Cancer Research The five-story, 167,000-square-foot cancer research facility opened in 2006 at a cost
of $54-million. It houses administrative offices, laboratories and special equipment
for researchers, such as flow cytometry resources. It also provides meeting space
for seminars and lectures, such as the Georgia Cancer Center Lecture Series, which
draws an audience from across the campus; training sessions on sophisticated software
used in research, and community-wide forums on cancer-related topics.
The Cancer Center is home to some 35 Augusta University research faculty and approximately
175 associated personnel.
Laboratories have an open floorplan to allow work areas to flow into each other, fitting
the collaborative nature of research today.
In the spirit of environmental harmony, angled ceilings and structural glass result
in a space filled with natural light to reduce energy use. The center’s roof is covered
with slow-growing grass to minimize heat loss and gain and to lessen the impact of
runoff on the city’s water system.
A satellite energy plant with chilled water and steam provides heating and cooling
for the Cancer Center and two adjacent research facilities. The plant's current capacity
allows for future expansion.
