To provide comprehensive cancer treatment services to area residents, Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare Foundation recently opened the Carson Tahoe Cancer Center. Designed by the Sacramento, Calif., office of HGA Architects and Engineers, the $12-million, 34,000-square-foot facility is Nevada’s only freestanding cancer center fully accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. Located on five acres of a new 85-acre Carson Tahoe Medical Campus, the cancer center houses 20 chemotherapy and infusion positions—each with a full view of the Eagle Valley. HGA‘s two-story structure, with entrances at both levels, centers on hospitality and nature. The exterior features stone native to Nevada and skylights in the waiting areas. Large stone fireplaces grace the arrival spaces on both floors, and the building offers a labyrinth for meditation, outdoor patient areas, and a riparian habitat. In addition to the cancer center, the new campus will house a medical center, surgical hospital, hospitality facility, and medical offices. (Photo courtesy of HGA).
