NEW YORK — A joint venture of Turner Construction Company and Consigli Construction Co., Inc. was selected this week to provide construction services for new $2.3 billion The Kenneth C. Griffin Pavilion at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), a state-of-the-art cancer care facility to be built on MSK’s main campus in Manhattan.
The Kenneth C. Griffin Pavilion at MSK will be exclusively dedicated to patient care. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified full-service facility will be built entirely within MSK’s existing footprint, devoted to ensuring greater access to cancer care and meeting the needs of New Yorkers and people from around the globe. A two-story bridge will provide a critical connection to Memorial Hospital between the two buildings and ensure safe and convenient access for patients and staff.
“We are honored to partner with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Consigli on this transformative project,” said Jason Tavarez, Project Executive, Turner Construction Company, in a statement. “The Kenneth C. Griffin Pavilion at MSK combines advanced technology, thoughtful design, and a patient-centered approach. Together with our joint venture partner, we are committed to delivering this project safely and efficiently while ensuring the hospital remains fully operational throughout construction.”
The new pavilion, designed by CannonDesign in a association with Foster + Partners, will also significantly enhance MSK’s ability to treat more patients and accommodate more complex cases in the future. Upon completion, the facility will feature 12 operating suites and 208 single-occupancy inpatient beds, all dedicated to patient care. It will also include advanced technology to care for patients, leading-edge robotics and a digital infrastructure as well as enhanced operating and procedure suites.
Construction of the pavilion, which will stand at 481 feet tall on a 25,000-square-foot foundation, is expected to be completed in 2030. Throughout the project, MSK, Turner, and Consigli will work closely with community members, as well as City and State stakeholders, to ensure the safety, health, and care of patients, staff, and neighbors.
“Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center provides world-class care and cutting-edge treatment services that make it possible for patients to navigate their cancer journeys with dignity and compassion, and this new facility will equip providers with the resources necessary to meet growing healthcare needs,” said Thomas Drumm, Project Executive at Consigli Construction Co. Inc., in a statement. “Consigli looks forward to our continued partnership with Turner Construction in delivering The Kenneth C. Griffin Pavilion at MSK on its existing campus as we help bring MSK’s vision for a stronger, healthier future to life.”
The Pavilion is named in honor of Kenneth C. Griffin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Citadel and Founder of Griffin Catalyst, who made a landmark gift to support clinical innovation at MSK in 2023.
