The firm was asked by the client to envision an overall master plan for their Gujarat Cancer and Research Institute that aligns current space utilization characteristics with the institute’s long-range strategic planning objectives. A major aspect of the project was to strengthen the GCRI campus community and identity by establishing a college for 750 students as a premier medical college designed as per MCI norms, offering highest quality education in the medical and allied areas. The resulting plan led to the creation of a new 900 bed teaching hospital at the heart of the campus with a balanced focus on primary care and specialty areas that will help evolve the institutions vision and will serve as an inspirational model that sets new standards for medical master planning throughout India.
