The 70,000-square-foot building will bring medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons and other cancer specialists together in one location, according to a news release. The Suzanne H. Arnold Center for Breast Health will be integrated into the two-story cancer center.

The latest diagnostic and treatment technologies will be installed in the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Center, including a gamma knife for noninvasive treatment of tumors, and TomoTherapy with 3-D imaging and targeted radiation beams, the organization said.

The building also will include infusion and chemotherapy suites for patient comfort, a healing garden and an education center, according to the release.

LGH's relationship with the University of Pennsylvania's Abramson Cancer Center in Philadelphia will provide additional resources for patients, like subspecialty care and clinical trials at the Lancaster cancer center, LGH said.

The building was designed by Philadelphia-based architect group Ballinger. Benchmark Construction Co. Inc. in West Earl Township will manage construction.
