Hefei Ion Medical Center (HIMC)

Project Location: Hefei, China

This 365,000 square foot proton therapy center is located in Hefei, Anhui Province, China. HIMC is a key player in the development of domestically produced proton therapy technology, aiming to establish a world-class radiotherapy platform.

Completed in 2020, the first phase consists of a 4-story comprehensive cancer center including 3 Varian ProBeam gantries, 2 Linacs, 40 in-patient beds, and a suite of diagnostic CT, MRI, and other imaging equipment. The second phase was pre-planned into the development and will be home to China’s first carbon therapy center.

Work previously completed by John Jessen as Principal Architect with Architect-of-Record VOA Associates (now Stantec).

Full Service Design

We design proton therapy centers that seamlessly integrate hundred-ton particle accelerators with 14-foot concrete shielding, creating healing environments for patients and efficient workflows for staff.

Feasibility Studies

We analyze your site conditions, financial parameters, and operational requirements to determine whether your proton therapy center vision is buildable and sustainable.
