The University of California San Diego (UCSD) began construction on the $100-million Rebecca and John Moores Cancer Center located on the school's east campus in La Jolla. Slated for completion in 2004, the 270,000-sf facility will be one of 40 buildings in the nation designated by the National Cancer Institute as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. Consolidating people and programs currently dispersed in various campus buildings, the center will house over 300 scientists, physicians and staff engaged in clinical, research, education, and outreach operations.

Designed by Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership of Los Angeles, the facility will be the firm's third project on the UCSD campus. Contractor for the project is St. Louis-based McCarthy.
