Design of a new steel framed, 5-story state of the art cancer treatment facility in the heart of The University of Virginia’s medical campus in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Notable aspects of the project included designing 18 foot high reinforced concrete foundation walls to resist lateral earth pressures, designing composite steel framing and elevated concrete floor slabs to strict vibration tolerances required for imaging equipment, incorporating the interior space planning requirements into the layout and design of the steel braced-frame lateral force resisting system, and designing, detailing, and specifying mass concrete radiation shielding for the linear accelerators used for cancer treatment.
