About Our Relocation

In fall 2024, the KU Medical Center campus began 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 has relocated to a modular building while our new, permanent location is prepared. 

Swati Rane Levendovszky has started as the Director of Hoglund on January 20, 2025. She will be remote until July 2025 but is available for meetings by zoom/teams and during her periodic in-person visits.

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!

Modular Building Operations

The modular building has been erected in front of Hemenway and the scanner has been moved to this building. Siemens and our MRI technicians are currently testing the scanner. The building is a compact building with rooms for consent, testing, and phlebotomy services. Other than that, space is restricted. Bathrooms are available outside the building. Hoglund personnel in the building will include a front desk person and a technologist. Please bear with us as we will have limited personnel onsite when we begin operations.

Tours of the Modular Building

If you’d like to schedule a specific tour for your study team, please email hbicschedulemanager@kumc.edu.

Facility and Parking Information

Our modular facility is equipped to support the needs of research teams and study participants. Our new location offers 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.

Our Contact Us page contains a map and other directions.
