In fall 2024, the KU Medical Center campus will begin to prepare for the construction of a new building to house The University of Kansas Cancer Center. To make way for the construction, Hoglund Biomedical Imaging Center will relocate to a modular building while our new, permanent location is prepared. We are working hard to minimize any potential disruptions that this move may have on our research partners.

We’ve compiled information about the project and its impacts here, but if you have any questions, we hope you’ll reach out directly (hbicschedulmanager@kumc.edu). We are here to help!

About Our Relocation

The future site of the Hoglund Biomedical Imaging Center modular building will be north of the Hemenway Life Sciences Innovation Center on the main University of Kansas Medical Center campus at 39th Street and Rainbow Boulevard in Kansas City, Kansas. View our map.

We will begin our transition to the modular building on mid-December 2024. We plan to open our doors for regular operations in our modular building in February 2025.

Minimizing Disruptions

We are committed to ensuring that all ongoing projects experience minimal disruption. We are coordinating closely with research teams to address specific study needs during the transition.

We will continue to provide updates through email, website and meetings. We encourage everyone to stay connected through these channels.

Questions and Contacts

Most contact information will remain the same when we move, but any changes will be communicated in advance. Please check our website for the most up-to-date contact information.

We understand that this transition and relocation will require adjustments, and we are happy to answer any questions you might have. Please reach out to hbicschedulmanager@kumc.edu. We will also be collecting feedback via an online form throughout this process.

Facility and Parking Information

Our modular facility will be equipped to support the needs of research teams and study participants. Our new location will offer accessibility features, restroom trailers located nearby (less than 30 feet) and free parking. All HBIC visitors will park on the top deck of the P4 Bluff parking garage, located on Rainbow Blvd. and Adams Street. The parking area is about 50 feet from our modular building. To access the garage, visitors will use the call box at the gate, and KU Medical Center Parking Services staff will lift the barrier arm to allow them in. Hoglund will cover parking costs for participants.

We will supply maps and directions to our new location after we move. 

Scheduling and Support

We have notified all internal and external users of the upcoming changes to scheduling appointments or services on ILab in advance. Our goal is to maintain a seamless experience throughout the transition.

We are working with individual teams to determine if recertifications or validation is necessary. Please reach out to hbicschedulemanager@kumc.edu to determine if your study will require recertification.

We are actively engaging with The University of Kansas Health System radiology team to assess their capacity for handling studies that require relocation to the hospital. This process is being evaluated on a case-by-case basis. For any specific questions, please contact hbicschedulmanager@kumc.edu.

We are collaborating with individual teams to assess their storage needs. If you have unused supplies at HBIC, we ask that you do so as soon as possible. If you currently have supplies at HBIC and require ongoing storage, please contact us at hbicschedulmanager@kumc.edu.
