A new, state-of-the-art building for patient care and clinical research at Dana-Farber is slated for completion in early 2011. The Yawkey Center for Cancer Care will create a new front entrance and rise 13 stories on the corner of Brookline Ave. and Jimmy Fund Way. The Center will be a welcoming facility that promotes personalized, safe, and compassionate care in a healing environment.

The building will feature expanded patient care and support areas, a new cafeteria and pharmacy, conference rooms, clinical offices, and underground parking. Bridges at the third floor will connect the Center with the Smith Research building, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Children's Hospital Boston. An underground passage will link it to the Dana and Mayer buildings.

If you have any questions, please call the project office at (617) 632-6907.
