Nevada Cancer Institute – Research Center

At The Korte Company, we’re experts in healthcare architecture and healthcare construction. And we’re proud to provide medical service providers with tech-ready facilities that can handle innovative research. Our work for the Nevada Cancer Institute is some of our finest.

We provided complete Design-Build services for the new Nevada Cancer Institute Research Building. The four-story structure features 36 state-of-the-art research laboratories, along with support offices. The building is a steel structure with precast architectural concrete details that are accented with decorative stone fin walls. We designed each floor with nearly zero deflection standards. The basement houses a powerful yet sensitive electron microscope, a med-gas tank farm and a space for a future vivarium. A complex network of med-gas piping delivers a variety of gases throughout the building.

We ensured every aspect of the structure is consistent with the flagship building and overall campus master plan. And we designed and built the entire facility to be green and energy efficient. It’s LEED Silver certified by the U.S. Green Building Council.
