The New York Cancer Center has revealed renderings for its newest facility in Gravesend, Brooklyn. Located on the corner of Avenue S and McDonald Avenue, the building is designed by Building Studio Architects and will top out at three stories.
The building will feature a tan brick façade, window walls with thin steel supports, and multiple outdoor spaces. The building’s interior arrangement is centered on a multi-story atrium that will increase the natural light flow throughout the property and provide a feeling of openness for employees.
Specific facilities will include a counseling center, a wig salon, administrative spaces, and a two-level flex space with an open kitchen and dining space.

Dealing with cancer at this time, this is a building that I would feel better in every time I came for treatment. Nicely done.
Looks very calming and beautiful. Too bad they’re not making it taller to serve more people or for future expansion.
Gravesend! Perhaps the facility needs to push for a neighborhood name change , a more optimistic upgrade from the rather somber (pf not downrightdire) label of “Gravesend”. .Not a great location name for a life-saving medical facility! In its never ending efforts to sell us on its latest investments, the real estate industry has given us many memorable monikers and ear-worms, such as SoHo, Tribeca and the East Village. How about SoBro (for southern Brooklyn), instead of Gravesend? Or at least a more palatable Bath Beach East? Sheepshead Bay West? Coney North? Anything sounds better! 🙂
It’s Dutch origin and older than the city of NY so I don’t see that happening.
Gravesend, along with Brooklyn, Flatbush, Bushwick, etc. was one of the original six towns of what became Kings County. It was the only English speaking town ( the others were Dutch speaking), and was the only colonial town established by a woman.
I’m all for the building of top notch disease treatment facilities, but am I the only one that thinks maybe the best location for them is in fact not immediately adjacent to an express subway station? The cancer facility should have been housed in the lower floors of a 15-25 story building with 150+ residential units. This is the kind of stupid stuff NYC does that drives me up the wall.
Yes, you are the only one who thinks that.
