Construction is Ahead of Schedule on Louisiana Cancer Research Center; LCRC Seeking NCI Designation Construction of the new, state-of-the-art, ten-story Louisiana Cancer Research Center is ahead of schedule, according to the Louisiana Cancer Research Consortium (LCRC). Structural beams making up the building's shell are now visible at the site located in the heart of New Orleans' biosciences district on the corner of Tulane and South Claiborne avenues. When completed, the facility will boast 172,000 square feet and ten floors of state-of-the-art research equipment, laboratories, advanced information technology systems, and a theater-style meeting space that will seat up to 250. Together with the VA Medical Center, the University Medical Center, the BioInnovation Center, and local universities, the Louisiana Cancer Research Center will play an integral role in the biomedical district and will contribute to the largest economic development project in New Orleans' recent history. LCRC's goal is for the facility to become a National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center. NCI-Designated Cancer Centers are the gold standard in cancer research and care and provide significant federal dollars to sustain major progress in cancer research program development.
