Challenge

Fred Hutch sought to create a new center of campus that would strengthen collaboration between research and clinical programs while supporting the next generation of precision oncology research. As the institution’s first significant campus development in more than two decades, the project needed to accommodate highly specialized laboratory environments while integrating new infrastructure with an active research campus.

Solution

We provided development management for the planned Stuart and Molly Sloan Precision Oncology Institute, leading entitlements, design management, project coordination, and early implementation planning through schematic design. Working alongside Perkins&Will, the broader consultant team, and Fred Hutch leadership, we guided planning for an eight-story research facility that would consolidate laboratories, offices, conference spaces, shared resources, and campus amenities into a new hub for scientific collaboration. The project also incorporated significant campus infrastructure upgrades designed to improve utility redundancy, operational resilience, and long-term sustainability.

Outcome & Impact

During schematic design, Fred Hutch reassessed its long-term growth strategy and elected to pursue acquisition of nearby existing research facilities rather than proceed with new construction. The alternative approach accelerated the availability of research space, expanded campus capacity, and preserved the original development site for future institutional needs.
