The Medical College of Wisconsin broke ground on its new 150,000-square-foot cancer research building that will help mitigate the cancer burden throughout eastern Wisconsin and beyond.
MCW leadership along with supporters from the community and government representatives took part in the groundbreaking event at the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center. Once complete, the MCW Cancer Research Building will be the only cancer-dedicated research facility in Milwaukee and eastern Wisconsin.
It will centralize the MCW cancer research programs, which now consist of nearly 700 researchers in 135 labs campuswide. It will also create space to enable more synergistic cancer research projects to take shape with community partners and research participants focused on improving health outcomes for patients.
Construction of the building is expected to be completed by late 2024. Construction costs will be approximately $100 million.
Project team includes Mortenson as construction manager and CannonDesign as architect.
