This new Cancer Center is being developed with the goal of becoming one of the nation's top five centers for cancer research, diagnosis and treatment Center. The new Center will be physically connected to the existing IU Hospital and Cancer Care Pavilion.   Steam and chilled water for the facility will be provided from the district utility, which also serves the existing IU Hospital. This addition will have independent utility entrances, but the infrastructure will be interconnected for redundancy purposes. A partial crawl-space will facilitate routing of utilities. Dedicated pipe closets on each level will provide convenient maintenance access to valves.   Central air-handling units will be located on the lower level and a sixth-level penthouse. Because the Cancer Hospital addition is to connect on all levels to the existing IU Hospital building, the floor-to-floor height is limited to 12'-8" for most levels. This creates special challenges for routing of ductwork and other utilities in shallow ceiling cavities. Measures will be taken to allow conversion of patient rooms to protective isolation rooms in the future. Radiant heating is provided in patient rooms and infusion areas for better environmental comfort of patients.   Electrical service is provided by routing dual 15 kV feeds. Double-ended substations provide redundancy. An emergency generator will distribute emergency power throughout the new Center.   Central uninterruptible power systems provide reliable power to information technology and other sensitive systems.
