OVERVIEW
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is the single largest facility project in The Ohio State University’s history, integrating advanced proton therapy with a comprehensive ambulatory care environment. The Proton Therapy Center houses the nation’s first multi-room configuration of Varian’s ProBeam 360 system, including two full gantries and the world’s first fixed-beam room capable of upright patient treatment through Leo Cancer Care.

The broader ambulatory facility includes 13 specialty clinics, infusion therapy, urgent care, ambulatory surgery, endoscopy, medical imaging, outpatient rehabilitation, clinical laboratories, faculty and administrative offices, and an integrated retail and clinical pharmacy. A 640-car parking garage supported the campus-scale scope of the project.
