Work will include a temporary change to Circle of Hope Drive, the road leading to HCI’s cancer hospital and research center entrances on the north side of the facility. This work will install a temporary roadway to remain in place until 2022. The temporary roadway will accommodate patient and visitor access to the entrances of HCI for the full duration of construction. The road work project was informed by a traffic study completed in 2019, and has been designed to promote safe and efficient travel for all visitors to HCI while also managing needs for construction traffic while this major expansion is built.
Patients and visitors to HCI are encouraged to plan extra travel time and follow all signs.
The Kathryn F. Kirk Center for Comprehensive Cancer Care and Women’s Cancers is a $148 million, 220,000 square-foot expansion that will provide new state-of-the-art cancer care space, including an entire floor dedicated to women’s cancers, 48 new inpatient rooms, new blood and marrow cancer treatment space, oncology faculty workspace, expanded wellness and survivorship space, and more.
Lead donors to the project include: Spencer and Kristen Kirk Family, Huntsman Foundation, Karen and Scott Smith, The Sigma Chi International Fraternity, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and dōTERRA International.
Construction on the project began in late 2019. The project is anticipated to open to patients in 2022.
