The Mortimer B. Zuckerman Research Building has created an inspiring and efficient environment for cancer research, and a distinguished civic identity for Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Designed in collaboration with Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership, the building offers MSK’s cancer researchers state-of-the-art laboratory spaces while responding to stringent urban design, zoning, and phasing constraints. Located on a dense urban site, the 420-foot-tall research tower also represents a new paradigm for urban laboratory buildings.
