The University of Alabama Proton Therapy Center opened in 2020. The new 30,000 square foot center is a partnership between the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Proton International.
The project consists of a single Varian ProBeam compact gantry in a 2-story building on the UAB campus several blocks from the main hospital.
Work previously completed by John Jessen as Principal Architect with Architect-of-Record VOA Associates (now Stantec).
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.
