Our Project
In the rural Midwest, a cancer diagnosis can trigger a logistical puzzle for patients and their families. It is not uncommon for people to travel hundreds of miles to see a disparate set of specialists. With the April Sampson Cancer Center, Ballinger helped Bryan Health and Cancer Partners of Nebraska ease this burden for the more than 75,000 Nebraskans diagnosed with cancer every year. The 130,000-square-foot comprehensive community cancer center consolidates services from multiple sites and offers advanced technology and treatment within a single nearby healing environment.
The design maximizes the site’s natural features. The material palette, inspired by the region, features locally sourced limestone and textured concrete to match the color of Nebraska’s sand hills and wheat fields. Warm and inviting interiors reinforce a positive patient experience, supporting the mind, body and spirit of visitors and caregivers while meeting clinical and operational goals.
