Roswell Park Cancer Institute

A Warm Welcome

Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) in Buffalo, NY, is the only upstate New York facility to hold the National Cancer Center Institute designation of “comprehensive cancer center” and to serve as a member of the prestigious National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Spanning 25 acres, the downtown Buffalo campus consists of 15 buildings with about 1.6 million square feet of space. Recently, RPCI renovated its eighth floor and opened a new intensive care unit, which is 8,000 square feet – 40 percent larger than the existing ICU – to accommodate anticipated growth.

When developing the layout for the new ICU, the Facilities Planning Department at RPCI regularly met with nursing, senior administration, infection control and other key internal departments to determine what kinds of materials, equipment, colors and designs would best suit the unit’s needs. To meet performance requirements and help achieve a calming, soothing atmosphere for patients and families, planning officials implemented a combination of noraplan environcare™ and noraplan® mega throughout the eighth floor renovation. The flooring’s resilient surface helps reduce noise and provides the underfoot comfort necessary for patient and employee well-being. Additionally, the low-maintenance requirements limit bacteria growth and aid with infection control without ever requiring the application of wax or floor finish. The result is a visually calming ICU that, because of its eighth floor location, features breathtaking views of downtown Buffalo from patient rooms and provides the peaceful atmosphere for patients and families to get the rest they need to recover quickly.
