In August 2004, the State of North Carolina authorized $180 million in funding to construct the state-of-the-art hospital. Construction began in October 2005, and the building will open in late 2009. The state’s investment will substantially improve patient care for the citizens of North Carolina and through the stimulation of cancer research, impact the state’s economy and position as a national leader in biotechnology.

North Carolinians from all 100 counties come to UNC for their cancer care. The number of UNC cancer patients has increased 35% in the last six years and is projected to double by the year 2020.

To better serve these patients, this new, integrated space will include:

• Over 320,000 square feet, allowing more room for a growing patient population.
• Expanded and enhanced multidisciplinary clinic space.
• Specially designed facilities for high-technology tumor assessment imaging and treatment.
