Memo­r­ial Sloan Ket­ter­ing Cancer Center (MSKCC) is the oldest and largest pri­vate cancer research center and treat­ment facil­ity in the world. Head­quar­tered in New York City, with a focus on the health and well-being of their patients and vis­i­tors, they con­tinue to strive for out­pa­tient facil­i­ties that are both con­ve­nient and high-qual­ity.

This facil­ity, located in Mont­vale, New Jersey, was a former Toys ​‘R’ Us head­quar­ters. The project pre­sented many chal­lenges to the design firm, Ewing­Cole includ­ing the desire for nat­ural light to be a main focus. The oncol­ogy wait­ing areas incor­po­rate unique light fix­tures to not only com­ple­ment the nat­ural light, but also to add inter­est to the space.

M36 from Selux Cor­po­ra­tion was chosen for its con­fig­ura­bil­ity as well as com­fort­able lit appear­ance. These ​“Y” pat­terns were placed within a wood-grain drop ceil­ing, which helped create a warm, wel­com­ing envi­ron­ment.
