Ambulatory Chemotherapy Transfusion Unit
Long Island Jewish Medical Center
North Shore LIJ Health System/ New Hyde Park, New York

Axis Construction Corp was retained to develop Long Island Medical Center’s new oncology institute. As the home of one of New York’s leading cancer treatment programs the goal of this project was to create an environment more responsive to the patients needs, providing them with a home away from home.
Deinstitutionalizing the space was accomplished with the use of cherry wood slats for the ceiling, replacing the traditional acoustical tile. Vinyl wood finish flooring and non-direct light provide warmth not usually found in hospitals.
