It will add 100,000-square feet, 26 more chemotherapy stations and infusion spaces for bone marrow transplant patients. Additionally, the existing breast cancer center, which is located across the street, will move into the new facility.

The project will be partially funded by Gayle and Tom Benson, for whom the building is named.
