LiveWire Construction is leading the $10.22M electrical scope for the new University of Chicago Cancer Center, a state-of-the-art medical facility located in Chicago, Illinois. As the electrical contractor of record, LiveWire is responsible for major electrical equipment buyout, project coordination, and material management throughout construction—ensuring that one of the nation’s most advanced cancer treatment and research centers is powered by reliable, code-compliant, and precisely coordinated electrical infrastructure.
The University of Chicago Medicine is consistently ranked among the top cancer programs in the United States, with the UChicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The new Cancer Center will expand access to cutting-edge oncology care, clinical trials, and translational research—bringing together medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, infusion therapy, diagnostic imaging, and precision medicine under one roof. Facilities of this caliber demand electrical systems that support advanced linear accelerators, PET/CT and MRI imaging, proton therapy equipment, biosafety laboratories, clean power for research instrumentation, and redundant life safety systems.
In 1943, Dr. Charles Huggins of the University of Chicago was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his research on prostate cancer and the role of hormones in tumor growth.
