Additional Information
This new Cancer Treatment Center was designed to complement the surrounding buildings on the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center campus with matching brick, cast stone, and aluminum window systems. The interior was designed with a balance of aesthetics, durability and timelessness in order to create a welcoming environment for veterans and their families.
The intent of this project was to create a full-service Cancer Treatment Center to serve the Shreveport area by including medical oncology, radiation oncology and hematology services under one roof. The Medical Oncology Department included (14) chemotherapy bays, an isolation room, pharmacy, blood draw, (8) exam rooms and triage. The Radiation Oncology Department included (2) linear accelerators, a computed tomography (CT) simulator, (3) exam rooms, an exam procedure room, dosimetry, and physics lab.
Spur Design issued 100% Construction Documents, but the project was canceled due to budget restraints.

Additional Information
The scope of this project evolved due to input by both users and administration. Spur Design was able to work with the VA to develop conceptual estimates on a number of different options including headwalls and booms. Our team worked closely with VA Engineering to develop the best possible solution; taking into consideration safety, ease of use, value, schedule, budget, and phasing.
The VA decided on a built-in ICU headwall that was not only highly functional but also aesthetically pleasing. We worked closely with the in-house VA Interior Designer to help her achieve the VA goal of Patient Centered Healthcare. This was, in part, addressed by the use of color, material, daylighting, and views for the patients. Additionally, the new space is more user-friendly for VA medical staff and has helped to increase productivity.
