The Future Cancer Hospital, a partnership of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), comprises a 688,000-square-foot inpatient medical facility within Boston's Longwood Medical Area. The structure features four below-grade levels for parking, radiation oncology, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) infrastructure.

The nineteen-story steel-framed superstructure accommodates patient care, public spaces, and support areas. The inpatient tower portion, massed above a smaller footprint, uses transfer trusses at the interstitial mechanical floor to enable architectural setbacks along Joslin Place and Brookline Avenue. The facility connects to the medical campus via three elevated connectors: one spanning Pilgrim Road to the BIDMC Farr building, one across Brookline Avenue to the Dana-Mayer Building, and one to the adjacent Longwood Center building.

Key structural features include:

• Story-deep transfer trusses to enable efficient stacking of inpatient floors above a setback podium structure
• Hybrid braced frame and moment frame system providing lateral force resistance efficiently for both the podium and tower portions
• Specialized structural support systems for medical equipment and vibration-controlled spaces
• Slurry wall construction to allow for construction on a highly constrained site in the heart of the Longwood medical area
