Norton Healthcare Cancer Institute
by CMTA
Louisville, Kentucky
Norton Healthcare invested $38 million in a new comprehensive cancer center in Louisville in an effort to focus on the unique needs of the region’s cancer patients and their families. The facility houses an array of oncology services, including radiation oncology, medical oncology, infusion therapy, and support services, along with hematology, neuro-oncology, and surgical oncology specialties in one location.
The new, three-story 48,590 square-foot free-standing Cancer Center is designed according to the following program: The first floor is used for radiation treatment with two state-of-the-art linear accelerators and the Prompt Care Clinic, providing urgent care for oncology patients; the second is primarily used for exams and offices; the third is for infusions and treatments.
Project at a Glance Completion: 2018
Size: 48,590 SF
Cost: $38,000,000
Project Type: New Construction
The project team was tasked to design a full-service facility that included 20 private patient rooms, a combined urgent care emergency department, and state-of-the-art surgery rooms. The upper floors of the facility include outpatient services. This design was required to meet the owner’s sustainability goals, while maintaining brand consistency.
The outstanding energy results of Riverview Health’s Westfield Hospital match its beauty. Comparing the ENERGY STAR hospital portfolio manager to a median hospital, this facility utilizes almost half the energy. This facility’s energy costs are around $2 per square foot, while the average median facility would use nearly $4 per square foot. Westfield Hospital has been requested by the American Society of Healthcare Engineers to discuss the methodology used to have a hospital performing with an EUI of less than 100.

CMTA provided great energy modeling data to ensure the financial performance of the geothermal system. Now that the system has been in operation for a year, its energy use is extremely low, and we are realizing the predicted return on the investment.
