New Orleans cancer center set to open 2010
After years of talking, planning and dreaming, the first steps have been taken toward building a cancer center that is designed to be nothing less than a scientific and economic mainstay of New Orleans' post-Katrina economy.
"Test piles are going. Great things are happening," said Steven Moye, president of the organization behind the Louisiana Cancer Research Center at Tulane and South Claiborne avenues.
The health sciences centers of Louisiana State and Tulane universities, as well as Xavier University, are partners in the project, which is envisioned as a center for treatment, teaching and research as well as an economic engine for the city's renaissance.
The 10-story building will have about 175,000 square feet of work space, Moye said, and about 300 people are expected to be employed there when the center opens in 2010.
