The recently opened Asplundh Cancer Pavilion's 86,000-square-foot outpatient center in the suburbs of Philadelphia combines state-of-the-art cancer-fighting science with a serene healing environment. Its biophilic design by EwingCole includes an exterior architectural aluminum system finished by Linetec to resemble the look and texture of natural wood.
"Our design team did an incredible job bringing the outdoors into the Pavilion with abundant natural light, birch and moss design elements, and views of the surrounding greenery," said Peg O'Grady, Asplundh Cancer Pavilion's administrative director, oncology at Abington - Jefferson Health. "Research shows that the environment has an effect on the burden of disease and healing times, so we were sure to make each choice thoughtfully."
