ROANOKE, VA — Construction firm Robins & Morton marked the topping out of the new Carilion Taubman Cancer Center in Roanoke, Virginia. The topping out ceremony signifies the structural completion of the project.
The six-story, nearly 257,000-square-foot cancer center will bring together personalized care, advanced technology and treatment options, clinical trials, and research in a single location. It is designed to accommodate more patients than the current facility and support the healing process with natural light, outdoor spaces, and expanded amenities.
Carilion Clinic is the leading health care provider for Western Virginia, serving nearly 1 million patients annually. The new facility will be located on Carilion’s Riverside Campus, shared with partners Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC.
“This topping out marks an important milestone in bringing the Carilion Taubman Cancer Center from vision to reality,” Robins & Morton Vice President Mark Mattox said. “Every beam placed represents the dedication, collaboration, and craftsmanship of an exceptional team working to create a destination for world-class cancer care in western Virginia. We are honored to partner with Carilion Clinic, Branch, and the many trade contractors helping make this transformative facility possible.”
The project is scheduled for completion in late 2027. The general contractor is Robins & Morton Branch Builds, a joint venture partnership. HDR is the architect.
