When finished, the Maryland Proton Treatment Center will bring this leading-edge cancer therapy that uses precision proton beams to the greater Mid-Atlantic region. Located in the University of Maryland BioPark at the university’s Baltimore campus, the treatment center will house five treatment rooms, dedicated research and training spaces, and also feature ground-floor retail space. Advanced Particle Therapy, the center’s parent company, asked Convergent Technology (CTDG) to provide design services and construction administration for audiovisual systems with supporting infrastructure and LAN, PBX, and Wi-Fi Electronics. Also included in the scope of work was a peer review of the access control/ video surveillance systems. The types of spaces receiving CTDG’s technology-design services and review also include a conference room, lobby, staff lounge, patient waiting room, and main telecomm room. Currently the project is in the Construction Administration phase. The center’s construction began in April 2012 and by mid-2015 the center is slated to be open and annually treating 1,900 patients.
