Tower Cranes Installed At UM Cancer Research Construction Site In Health District

Two tower cranes have now been installed at a construction site in Miami’s Health District where the University of Miami is building a cancer research center.

A groundbreaking ceremony for the 12-story tower was held in June 2022.

The building will be iconic, according to a press release. It will be known as the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center – Transformational Cancer Research Building.

Both “ultramodern” patient care and research will take place in the new 244,000-square-foot facility.

HOK is the architect.

Miami needs better healthcare facilities. It’s healthcare infrastructure is outdated. Hard to find good care. Glad to see this coming.

Wow…I have found it to be phenomenal. Depends are where you live and if you do any homework I guess.

This new facility is gorgeous, and only a couple of blocks from the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, perennially the best in the USA, and only a few blocks from one of the best Trauma Centers in the USA, and a couple of blocks from the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, which is a leading research in spinal cord injury and brain trauma.
Maybe Miami isn’t the best city overall….I’d imagine all the teaching hospitals in Boston would be better, but Miami is very good.

Some just like to gripe no matter what the reality is. It stems from depression.

Can we give the word “iconic” a day off?

Looks like two architects couldn’t agree, so they each designed one side.

A school hospital by the same architect as the new courthouse… looks better than the courthouse. SAD!

Miami uses the word “iconic” for buildings as cavalierly as Hollywood uses the word “visionary” for directors
