The Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre (PFMCC) delivers an iconic centre for excellence dedicated to cancer treatment and research. Located in the heart of St Kilda Road in Melbourne, the major new facility provides Alfred Health with a next generation clinical and research centre. At its core, the Centre is dedicated to delivering a next generation translational research facility, incorporate the entire ‘bench to bedside and back’ cycle, and delivering the latest advances in cancer treatment with the development of the latest therapies and clinical trial offerings.
Lyons’ design is the outcome of close examination of patient care and treatment and moves away from traditional clinical models towards more bespoke therapy. The iconic external design, based on the idea of the healthy outer layer of skin, allows light to filter softly through the ‘veil’ of the façade, creating a calming environment for patients, staff, and families.
The Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre at The Alfred is a state-of-the-art facility where researchers and clinicians collaborate to bring cutting edge treatment to patients with melanoma and other cancers. The thoughtful design, developed in collaboration with patients, allows teams to develop and deliver world class care to patients in a warm, modern environment that places the patient at the centre of their care. Made possible through philanthropic, community and government partnerships, the centre represents a new era in cancer care, leveraging intentional design to deliver lifesaving and lifechanging early detection, diagnosis and treatment for metropolitan and regional patients.
