Related projects
In addition to the cancer hospital, YNHH is proposing the development of a 1,343-space, mixed-used parking structure location along the Route 34 corridor and a new medical office building located on Park Street. The parking structure would contain shops and offices. The Park Street Building would provide a loading dock that would remove a significant amount of truck traffic off local streets. Both structures could provide critical new tax revenue for the city.
Cancer facility services
The 14-story, nearly 500,000 square-foot building, designed by Shepley Bullfinch Richardson and Abbott, will include 112 inpatient beds, outpatient treatment rooms, expanded operating rooms, infusion suites, diagnostic imaging services, therapeutic radiology, a specialized Women's Cancer Center and the Yale-New Haven Breast Center/GYN Oncology Center.
Plan of the building and available equipment
This facility will directly benefit patients as we translate the promise of basic science research into the clinical setting. The Yale Cancer Center is one of a select network of 38 comprehensive cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Institute. As a result, this facility will provide a significant opportunity to better the lives of cancer patients in New Haven and throughout the country.

Community benefits
On March 18, 2005, Yale-New Haven Hospital announced a Community Investment Program in keeping with the city's request that new development projects also consider community needs. We think this comprehensive program, in addition to the more direct benefits outlined below, make the cancer center a benefit to patients and the community.
Jobs
About 350 jobs will be created during the peak of construction on the new hospital. Additionally, once open the facility will offer up to 400 new, permanent full-time jobs with above-market wages and benefits.
City revenues
The project will generate nearly $5 million in building permits to the city of New Haven and an additional $3-4 million in PILOT (Payment In Lieu Of Taxes) annual payments will be made to the city of New Haven. The city currently receives less than $200,000 in PILOT payments annually for the Grace Building, which will make way for the larger cancer hospital project and the increased PILOT payments.
[Yale-New Haven] promised us that they are going to build the new cancer center with the building trades workers, who recycle the money earned in New Haven back to New Haven's economy. In return, New Haven building trades has promised Yale-New Haven Hospital and will promise the city of New Haven right here, right now, that New Haven residents will be employed on the hospital project ... We promise the local workers on the project will respect the neighborhoods and neighbors that surround the hospital because that is where they live too ... We promise that our workers will construct a cancer center second to none, which will benefit not only Yale-New Haven Hospital but the entire region ...Those are real measurable community benefits and the New Haven Building Trades only agenda is to secure work, dignity and good wages and benefits for the men and women of the construction industry. The Yale-New Haven Hospital cancer center will allow us to continue those things.
