BMDACC-2-Courtyard-35Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center Phase II Clinic Expansion

Developer: Banner Health
Contractor: DPR Construction
Architect: HKS, Inc.
Size: 110,904 SF
Location: Gilbert
Completed: January 2014

After completing the stunning first phase of the Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, DPR Construction and HKS designed and built phase II, which consisted of a three-level expansion that houses linear accelerator vaults, radiation oncology, CT simulator, exam and infusion spaces. DPR completed this project with zero defects, meaning the project had no “punchlist” items at the time of substantial completion. This means during construction that 2,596 quality items were tracked and resolved “on the fly,” as one nominator put it.
