New Facility Provides Innovative Cancer Treatment
The Connecticut Proton Therapy Center is the first facility in Connecticut to use targeted radiological proton therapy to treat cancer, a treatment which is currently only available at a handful of facilities in the region. The Center is a collaboration between Yale-New Haven Health and Hartford HealthCare, partnering with developer Proton International. We assisted the project team by providing site/civil engineering, landscape architectural design, and environmental services.
We worked closely with Proton International and the Town Planning staff to develop the site plans for Planning & Zoning, Inland Wetlands and Watercourse Commission, and Department of Public Utilities approvals. Land-use plans included a site plan, grading plan, soil management plan, site utility plan, drainage and stormwater management plans, and landscape and lighting plan.
Our team designed the stormwater management plans to incorporate low-impact development techniques, such as above grade sand filters, infiltration chambers, deep sump catch basins, and oil/water/grit separators. The stormwater management design meets the Town and CT DEEP stormwater quality standards for attenuation of peak flows, volume reduction, and treatment. The project obtained Town land-use approvals and Aquifer Protection approval.
