On Jan. 10, 2012, the Norris Foundation made a $15 million commitment toward construction of the Harlyne J. Norris Research Tower dedicated solely to cancer research.

The building featured leading-edge technology and house multidisciplinary clinics focused on cancer care, including areas for radiation therapy, imaging and infusion therapy.
