New York Proton Center, New York, NY

Opened in 2019, the New York Proton Center is the first and only proton center in New York state. The center was created through a unique partnership between three world-class academic medical centers – Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Montefiore Health System, and Mount Sinai Health System.

Utilizing the Varian ProBeam™ system, the center houses a 250 MeV Super Conducting Cyclotron Particle Accelerator supporting three rotating gantries and one fixed beam room.

The design prioritizes patient wellbeing and comfort by incorporating natural materials and blending both artificial and natural lighting. The facility’s thoughtful layout enhances efficiency, allowing doctors and technicians to work seamlessly, improving patient throughput and overall outcomes.

Work previously completed by John Jessen as Principal Architect with Architect-of-Record VOA Associates (now Stantec).
