Roberts Proton Therapy Center

To advance Penn Medicine’s commitment to expanding access to highly specialized cancer care, LF Driscoll built Roberts Proton Therapy Center, one of the largest proton therapy centers in the world, featuring five treatment rooms, four gantries, and one fixed-beam room.

The highly sophisticated facility required extensive coordination of proton therapy equipment and MEP/technology systems within a primarily concrete structure featuring walls more than 14 feet thick, while the project was redesigned during construction to support a future eight-story research tower above the center. Our team also coordinated the complex transport and installation of major equipment from Belgium, including the 200-ton cyclotron, while carefully sequencing construction and equipment installation to achieve every scheduled turnover milestone. The center was completed below the original budget, returning $2 million in savings to Penn Medicine to support additional phases of its master plan.
