Marlborough, MA – Tocci Building Companies announced that Marlborough Hospital has broken ground on its new Cancer Pavilion. The facility is part of the UMass Memorial Health Care’s Cancer Center of Excellence, and Tocci will partner with architect The S/L/A/M Collaborative (S/L/A/M) of Glastonbury, Conn.
For the first time in Massachusetts, a healthcare project will be built using Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), a new contract form that will yield $1.7 million in construction-related cost savings on a $12.7 million project while delivering the owner’s full project vision.
Marlborough Hospital chose the team of Tocci and S/L/A/M for its experience using IPD, a contract form and design/construction process that fuses parties together in the spirit of ownership, collaboration and mutual responsibility for the project’s success.
The project will also benefit from co-location, a practice in which representatives of major disciplines – such as structural engineer, electrical subcontractor and M/E/P engineer – work on-site several days a week in a central office to drive face-to-face collaboration and real-time problem solving.
The 14,500sf addition will offer cancer care services, including medical oncology, radiation oncology, highly-trained cancer specialists and access to the latest treatments and therapies. The construction program includes a healing garden as well as dedicated areas for medical and radiation oncology exams and treatment. The completed project will cluster cancer services together under one roof with a dedicated patient entrance and services, and includes the world’s most sophisticated linear accelerator technology available. The Cancer Pavilion will be built according to LEED® principles of sustainable construction.
The project will be completed in the spring of 2013. Fitzemeyer & Tocci Associates of Stoneham is providing M/E/P engineering services.
