The first of many planned building projects for the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health's medical research arm, this eight-story, 437,600 sq. ft. facility represents a watershed in cancer research and imaging radiation.

Designed by Zimmerman Design Group and Hellmuth Obata + Kassabaum, Phase I's state-of-the-art features include cast-in-place concrete construction, a rooftop healing garden and recycled material content that includes concrete, asphalt, stone, brick, wood, and even cans and bottles.

As construction manager-at-risk, our goal was to verify constructability well in advance. We provided analysis and value engineering, using 3D modeling to coordinate mechanical systems, develop effective sequencing processes and resolve key concerns before they would become costly issues.
