UNC Hospitals Plans Chapel Hill Cancer Tower

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -
UNC Hospitals is planning to replace the Gravely Building, home of the North Carolina Clinical Cancer Center, with a new $140-million cancer tower in Chapel Hill. The 300,000-sf facility will provide complete outpatient cancer care, housing physician and specialist offices, radiation and chemotherapy facilities, and a pharmacy. Part of UNC's facility master plan, the cancer tower, which has yet to be designed, will be developed over the next five years. The 50-year-old Gravely Building, where the Cancer Center is currently housed, is a renovated tuberculosis sanitarium that opened in the early 1950's.
