Preparations begin for new Yawkey Center for Cancer Care
View from Joslin Park of what the Yawkey Center for Cancer Care may look like when it is completed in 2011.
A new, state-of-the-art building for patient care and clinical research at Dana-Farber is slated for completion in 2011. The Yawkey Center for Cancer Care will create a new front entrance and rise 13 stories on the corner of Brookline Ave. and Jimmy Fund Way. The Center will be a welcoming facility that promotes personalized, safe, and compassionate care in a healing environment. Patients and families will continue to be involved in the building process.
The building will feature expanded patient care and support areas, a new cafeteria and pharmacy, conference rooms, clinical offices, and underground parking. Bridges at the third floor will connect the Center with the Smith Research building, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Children's Hospital Boston. An underground passage will link it to the Dana and Mayer buildings.
