a calm and confident treatment environment for patients fighting a fearsome disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h4\">The Design Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>HKS designers conceived of a building that conveys strength externally, while feeling light, transparent and warm within. Vision glass enhances and frames views, while spandrel, sandblasted glass blocks filter natural light. A four-story glazed atrium creates a recognizable main entry for the project on an oddly shaped in-fill site hemmed in by residential buildings, warehouses and a disorderly street layout. Concave glass traces a roundabout that leads visitors and patients under the drop-off canopy. Patients and visitors enter a four-story atrium filled with natural light and vivid color in the form of warm wood, terrazzo flooring, wood ceilings, earth-toned walls and local artwork. Clinical areas also feature an expansive aquarium, abundant indoor plant life and quiet private alcoves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h4\">The Design Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cancer fighting services and caregivers are consolidated in a facility that is at once strong and patient-focused. HKS designers created a way for the project to perpetually give back to the community by preserving part of the project site for a neighborhood park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure
