Boston – BOND recently began work on a comprehensive renovation of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Jimmy Fund Clinic, located in Boston’s Longwood Medical Area. The two-year renovation and expansion project will renew 19,500 SF of clinic space serving pediatric cancer patients, increasing its capacity by 40%.
The Jimmy Fund Clinic is widely recognized as one of the world’s premier centers for pediatric cancer research and treatment. The Clinic’s multi-phased renovations will result in significant improvements that will enhance pediatric cancer care for patients and families. Infusion and clinical areas will be expanded and improved to optimize flow and patient care. The waiting room will also be expanded and reconfigured to include play, quiet, and teen areas. Space adjacent to the clinic will remain occupied during construction, creating the need for strict infection control procedures.
Renovations to the Jimmy Fund Clinic are currently underway, with completion of the project’s last phase scheduled for December 2014. The project is targeting LEED silver accreditation.
