Newly launched international architecture and design firm, specialising in health care and hospitality, H+A has been appointed by Proton Partners International Healthcare Investments to design a US$60 million proton beam therapy cancer treatment centre in Abu Dhabi, which will be the first in the region.
The treatment centre, which will be known as the Abu Dhabi Proton Centre (ADPC), will be part of the existing Gulf International Cancer Centre (GICC) in Abu Dhabi and will be situated on a site provided by SBK Holding LLC, the Holding Company of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, advisor to the President of the UAE.
H+A has been tasked with designing the centre to house the compact Proton Therapy (PT) solution and other facilities including a café, anaesthetic rooms, treatment rooms, zen gardens to aid recovery of cancer patients, dosimeter facility, a conference facility which seats 200 for regular meetings, offices for consulting specialists, interior design, landscaping and additional parking. It will also include the introduction of a new MRI suite and linear accelerator (LINAC) as an extension of the GICC. The centre is expected to be able to treat over 1,300 patients annually, opening in 2019.
