Proton Therapy at Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute

The Proton Therapy Center expands access to advanced cancer treatment for patients in the Lancaster community as one of the few facilities in Pennsylvania to offer this specialized form of radiation therapy.

LF Driscoll managed construction of the new facility, which features heavily reinforced concrete walls designed to support the specialized treatment environment and is connected to the Cancer Center by a corridor. Construction required precise sequencing, extensive concrete testing and curing, and virtual modeling to coordinate formwork and MEP infrastructure before concrete placement. Installation of the 220-ton proton therapy equipment required close coordination with the equipment vendor, including accommodating a 210-foot-long delivery vehicle and constructing a temporary removable roof structure to safely lower the equipment into place.
