MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper University Hospital

OVERVIEW
Langan provided integrated services for the 103,000 SF world-class cancer institute and its rooftop healing garden. Located on an extremely tight urban site, the project required extensive conceptual planning, programming, and site planning studies. Our team led permitting efforts, reconfigured vehicular circulation to provide safer access to facilities, and minimized stormwater runoff by reducing the amount of surface parking in favor of a landscaped plaza space. We also designed curved retaining walls to support tree plantings without needing roof penetration, designed the site lighting, and developed site-specific soil beds to minimize rooftop loading for the lush, tranquil healing garden.
