Rutgers Cancer Institute – Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center by DEVCO | New Brunswick Development Corporation

DEVCO serves as the Developer of the Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center – a project that represents a partnership of the Rutgers Cancer Institute and RWJBarnabas Health. The project involves the development of a comprehensive cancer center, designed to create a patient centered healing environment, focused on cancer diagnosis, treatment, and research. Upon completion, the Morris Cancer Center will be the only freestanding cancer hospital within the state of New Jersey. The project is being developed on a site located across from the existing Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and is being funded by the RWJBarnabas Health System. The 520,000 square foot, 12-story Cancer Center will be connected by a pedestrian bridge to both the existing Rutgers Cancer Institute and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.

The Morris Cancer Center will consolidate key cancer services into a single point of care, providing both inpatient and outpatient services, including infusion, radiation oncology, and surgical services, together with wellness, administrative and support services. The facility will offer 96 inpatient beds, 92 infusion bays, 71 exam rooms, 23 procedure rooms, 9 operating rooms, 4 linear accelerators and a full offering of diagnostic and imaging equipment. Also included are core laboratory, pharmacy and other essential services. Additional support spaces for wellness and education will focus on cancer prevention programs, screenings, exercise and image renewal.

The Morris Cancer Center also expands the already considerable research infrastructure of Rutgers University by providing facilities for 10 new Principal Investigators and their research teams. The co-location of research with patient care in a single building provides an unparalleled opportunity for the translation of science directly into patient treatment and care.
