NYU Perlmutter Cancer Center - Radiology Oncology Renovations

B.R. Fries was selected to perform the comprehensive renovation of the Radiology Oncology Program at the renowned NYU Perlmutter Cancer Center, delivering a highly complex, multi-phase healthcare construction project designed to support state-of-the-art cancer treatment technology.

This project involved interior demolition and full build-out across three phases to accommodate advanced medical equipment, including two LINAC (Linear Accelerator) machines and one PET/CT scanner. All work was performed within an active healthcare environment, requiring strict adherence to infection-control protocols, safety standards, and coordination with hospital operations to minimize disruption to patients and staff.

Project Scope & Key Highlights:

Specialized Equipment Infrastructure

To support NYU’s cutting-edge oncology services, B.R. Fries constructed new structural, mechanical, and electrical systems, including:

  • Installation of a new rooftop chiller and exhaust fan serving the PET/CT hot lab

  • Integration of three water bypass panels required for the new LINAC machines

  • Extensive MEP upgrades tailored to sensitive imaging and treatment equipment

Interior Renovations & Clinical Spaces

The project’s interior build-out included:

  • Patient treatment rooms and LINAC therapy suites

  • PET/CT imaging room and supporting hot lab

  • Private patient rooms

  • Specialty oncology labs

  • Nurse stations designed for efficient workflow and visibility

  • Physician and administrative offices

  • ADA-compliant restrooms

High-performance materials, durable finishes, and precision construction ensured the environment met the strict requirements for oncology care, radiation shielding, patient comfort, and infection control.

Phased Construction in an Occupied Medical Setting

Executed in three carefully planned phases, the renovation maintained continuity of patient care while upgrading critical infrastructure. B.R. Fries coordinated closely with NYU’s clinical teams, facilities staff, and equipment vendors to ensure seamless installation, rigorous safety compliance, and minimal operational downtime.

Delivering a Best-in-Class Cancer Treatment Environment

The completed project equips the NYU Perlmutter Cancer Center with advanced treatment capabilities, improved patient flow, and modern, technology-ready clinical spaces—strengthening its mission to provide world-class care for oncology patients.
