Description

The Center houses one of the nation's first pediatric proton therapy facilities. Proton therapy is a precise form of radiation therapy used to treat cancer that does not damage surrounding tissue and has fewer side effects. The treatment is of particular benefit to pediatric patients, however the facility will treat both adults and children.

 

Features

  • Associated General Contractors "Build America" award winner.
  • We used innovative methods, such as design-assist for key subcontractors and Building Information Modeling (BIM), to increase the efficiency of our design and construction team. Using these tools together enabled the entire team - Messer, designer, engineers and subcontractors - to work from the same 3D model which eliminated rework, reduced cost and increased the reliability of the schedule.
  • Amid this project, Cincinnati Children's Liberty campus included a vertical addition to the existing facility - also completed by Messer. We coordinated extensively with the owner and project team to ensure construction activities did not impact owner operations.
