A proposed integrated cancer care and research center designed by HOK for Stanford Medicine’s Redwood City, California, campus is moving forward for review by the City of Redwood City.
As proposed, the project comprises 1.75 million square feet of cancer-focused facilities in buildings up to 10 stories or 175 feet tall, set on the existing Stanford property in Redwood City off Highway 101 and adjacent to the Stanford Health Care Outpatient Center.
The HOK-designed project would bring together:
- A cancer hospital providing inpatient care with up to 470 beds
- A multidisciplinary outpatient clinic connected to existing services for coordinated cancer care
- A research building with connections to patient care
- Supporting infrastructure, including an amenity building, parking and a central energy hub
- Skyway connections between buildings, designed to link care and research within a single campus experience
The proposed design also extends the pedestrian experience through the campus, with an enhanced greenway connecting to Broadway and Bay Road and improved patient drop-off along a new Hurlingame Avenue extension.
HOK’s team is drawing on the firm’s experience in science and technology, healthcare and academic medical center planning to shape a cohesive environment for clinicians, researchers and patients. Sustainability, resilience and patient experience are central to the design approach.
“Cancer care demand is rising across communities, and patients increasingly need coordinated care across multiple specialists and therapies,” said Amine Khemakhem, firmwide director of Healthcare at HOK. “Our design brings clinical care and research together in one connected campus, with the flexibility to evolve alongside how cancer is treated.”
