UMMC begins construction of $219M Baltimore cancer center expansion

The fundraising campaign for the addition raised more than $50 million. The change in public health needs caused by the Covid-19 pandemic also impacted the design of the building, with more isolation rooms added to the design to care for patients with infectious diseases. “We’ve realized that we have to have the ability to take care of patients with Covid, or whatever we’re going to face five years from now,” Cullen said.
