VARIAN LINEAR ACCELERATOR

 
 
Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian Newport Beach, California
 
 
 

This project consisted of the replacement of an existing high energy liner accelerator at this Newport Beach Cancer Center. Varian Medical System was selected to provide the new Linear Accelerator. In addition to the equipment replacement our task was to completely remodel the procedure room and adjacent control room in an effort to make it more functionally efficient and also to create an environment less threatening to the patients being treated. The extensive cabinetry was completely redesigned to accommodate the specialized needs of the new equipment and to improve staff efficiency. In order to create a less institutional feeling all finish materials were replaced with finishes and details of a more residential appearance. The existing ceiling was replaced with a vaulted ceiling concealed with cove lighting to reduce the institutional appearance of most procedure rooms.
