Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute Expansion
Work on a 300,000-square-foot expansion to the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute is now under way with completion scheduled in 2010. The expansion will add more space for clinical, research, education and community outreach programs.
Groundbreaking for the project was held in 2007 at the time the Cancer Institute was renamed in memory of the late former Arkansas lieutenant governor.
Architecture firms Cromwell Architects Engineers Inc. of Little Rock and FKP Architects of Houston were selected for the project. Cromwell, which won a design award for its work on the Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute building at UAMS, worked with Cancer Institute staff on designs for the expansion. FKP has been involved in more than 600 health care projects, including design work on the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
