“A Place in the Sun,” Architectural Record

ZGF embraced the extreme and often harsh conditions of Phoenix, Arizona when conceiving the design for The University of Arizona Cancer Center. The result is a high-performance building in the desert climate of Phoenix, serving as a therapeutic refuge for cancer patients that, to quote the Architectural Record feature story linked below, “…brings the look and feel of a hotel to a cancer center through the lavish use of travertine and copper, along with desert plantings.”

“Everyone is under stress in a cancer center,” said Doss Mabe, a design partner at ZGF. “We wanted to provide a shelter in the desert.”
