Following the Green Brick Road to Cancer Care

The new Oxford Cancer Centre, designed by Steffian Bradley Architects, opened its doors to its first patients on 16 March 2009.


The 35,000m2, £109 million unit includes extensive use of natural lighting as well as a geothermal heating/cooling system that is the largest built in the UK to date. The hospital also features rainwater collection, passive solar shading and extensive natural ventilation.
