To support a premier NYC research hospital’s commitment to advancing education, research, and technology, JLGA designed a cutting-edge 12,000 sq. ft. Cyclotron and Radiochemistry Laboratory for its Department of Radiology. Spanning three floors, the facility incorporates a new mechanical shaft and a rooftop penthouse to enhance infrastructure.

The design presented numerous challenges, including the integration of departments, flood mitigation, and coordination with existing medical equipment. Extensive collaboration with regulatory agencies such as DOT, ConEd, DOH, DEC, FDNY, and DOB ensured smooth approvals.

This sophisticated facility will complement the hospital’s newly installed MRI-PET scanner, facilitating innovative clinical treatments. Beyond its clinical functions, the particle accelerator produces radio-pharmaceutical isotopes, supporting research needs and positioning the hospital to meet the evolving demands of both clinical care and scientific discovery.
