The Hollings Cancer Center (HCC) is the focus of cancer care and research activities at MUSC. HCC opened its first 86,000 sq. ft. dedicated facility in 1993 at Jonathan Lucas and Calhoun Streets. Since then, patient visits have grown from 15,000 visits per year to more than 80,000 in FY2007. And cancer research extramural funding has tripled to $28 million with two-thirds from the NIH. To accommodate the expanding clinical activities and provide additional space for the growth of basic and translational research, MUSC built a 7-story tower adjacent to the former HCC building in 2005. As part of the expansion project, the first two floors of the original building were remodeled. This brings the total HCC facility to 202,139 gross sq. ft. HCC Facility Features
