Penn Presbyterian Medical Center Proton Therapy Addition

Penn Medicine’s fourth regional proton therapy center expanded access to advanced cancer treatment and increased patient capacity, with the new facility connecting directly to the existing Cancer Center and Advanced Care Pavilion at street level.

Using an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach, LF Driscoll worked with the project team to accelerate design, procurement, regulatory approvals, and construction to accommodate proton equipment delivery three months earlier than originally planned, while completing an early LINAC fitout in just three months. Complex construction included demolition adjacent to occupied hospital spaces, unforeseen underground utilities, and dual proton concrete vaults completed in just 82 days, supported by prefabrication, BIM coordination, laser scanning, pull planning, and daily trade partner huddles.
