An established and successful clinic in pediatric oncology - through transformed treatments and services for children and families - required a refreshed look. Stephen Moore was part of the team that worked with physicians, nurses and administrators to renovate the ten-year old facility to expand the space, improve clinical operations, create welcoming patient-focused environments and more effective nursing and staff support areas. The clinic came alive to reflect the hopeful feeling that all who work with these people cannot help but feel.
The new space - with its colorful and playful finishes in tandem with fish tanks and an overall maritime theme - has optimized flow, an expanded reception, a sinuous front desk, separate child, adolescent and adult waiting areas, plus play, study and lunch spaces tie the architectural and interior designs together as appealing but functional settings.
Exam, procedure and infusion bed capacity increased with enhanced patient privacy and oversight. In-processing, vitals and phlebotomy are consolidated for patient ease and good work flow, with new central nurses station, expanded physician workroom, pediatric pharmacy and records storage.

The eight-story Jimmy Fund Building is Dana-Farber’s original, signature structure. Stephen Moore served as a designer and project manager on a variety of projects designed throughout the building include: the entrances, auditorium, pedestrian network, ground, first and third floors. Exterior public space was updated to enhance the image and transform the use and accessibility of this academic, clinical and laboratory facility. Projects of significance include:
A new metal-and-glass pedestrian bridge spans Shattuck Street to Brigham & Women’s Hospital, ramping down five feet to connect floor levels. The design solution was to express the truss structure with lightness and transparency.
Auditorium renovations upgraded stage, seating, media systems and interior treatments - with enlarged foyer and support facilities for patron reception and functions, and new meeting rooms to expand conference capacity.
The main entrance was enhanced by a sheltering canopy and glazed doorway, with facade and landscape improvements creating an attractive presence on Binney Street. A new entrance to the Kraft Blood Donor Center was created on the east face of the building.

In an on-going exercise to redesign the public spaces of the Dana Building at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute brighter, larger, accessible, and more visually interesting. This project necessitated exploring a more organic approach that added this visual variation while maintaining the strict Department of Public Health restrictions and clearances.
This was a good example of working directly with clinicians and administrative staff to determine the needs, as well as coordination of the design options presented to them. Stephen Moore lead the early design options renderings and later the drawing production for the project. Several renderings were produced with 3D models using the colors, finishes, furniture and lighting schemes provided to be commented on. It made the final implementation with a completely integrated design approach.
