Spotlight Artistic Solution Project at Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center at Dallas
Client Need: Artwork for new outpatient cancer center medical office building
The development process for the Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center began in May 2008 and construction began in April 2009. In December 2008, Baylor engaged Healthcare Art Consulting to be part of the project team. In fall 2009 Healthcare Art Consulting conducted focus groups with patients in order to determine appropriate artwork and the direction for artwork in the 460,000 square foot outpatient cancer facility.
One of the challenges for the Cancer Center project was the need to coordinate artwork and define each area of the building for all 10 levels which have different tenants, decision makers and facility use.
Also, Healthcare Art Consulting worked with multiple parties in order coordinate and complete the project including Baylor Health Care System, US Oncology, Duke Realty, CB Richard Ellis, Medco, and Perkins + Will.
Solution: Healthcare Art Consulting used various themes and mediums of artwork throughout the Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center to define areas for patients, staff and visitors.
On Levels 1 & 2 local photography images of Dallas/Ft. Worth are on a rotating display. In two story atrium, a suspended hand sculpted sculpture by local artist Jim Bowman is the highlight in gold, orange and red hues.
In the Chapel on Level 1, hand carved stone sculptures by local artist Eliseo and glass crosses by Robert McCandless are on display along side monumental glass features by Jon Wayne of Wayne Design Group.

What are the comments thus far?
In February 2010, the cancer center was recognized as the winner of the Best Real Estate Deals: Best Medical Project award by the Dallas Business Journal. The project is also on track to receive Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), which is based on a sustainable, energy-efficient design.
Additionally, when the project was completed and the facility doors open, Healthcare Art Consulting was the only vendor not listed on the "Outstanding Issues" list with over 200 action items.
