Rutgers Health

The Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center

RWJBarnabas Health and Rutgers Cancer Institute, the state's only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, have proudly unveiled New Jersey's first and only freestanding, fully comprehensive cancer hospital. The Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center in New Brunswick is one of only 13 freestanding cancer hospitals in the United States.

The 12-story, 520,000-square-foot facility, connected by a skybridge to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and Rutgers Cancer Institute, brings together inpatient and outpatient cancer services coupled with cutting-edge research laboratories all under one roof and delivered in an environment focused on compassionate, patient-centered care. Designed with the patient at the center, the Morris Cancer Center creates an exceptional patient experience to enhance healing and recovery.

New Jersey Health + Life Science Exchange (HELIX)

In addition to Rutgers Health's Translational Research and the Rutgers School of Medicine, H-1 @ The HELIX will be home to the New Jersey Innovation Hub which will be made up of pre-built and furnished labs/office space alongside additional key partners such as RWJBarnabas Health, Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey Economic Development Authority, Middlesex County and multiple international universities.

Ranging in size from 3,500 to 9,500 square feet, each suite offers a move-in-ready, state-of-the-art environment equipped with mobile casework, biosafety cabinets or chemical fume hoods, central compressed air, vacuum and CO₂ services, and modern office furnishings. Tenants will benefit from the unique balance of dedicated private space and access to a full ecosystem of shared services and amenities aimed at streamlining operations and catalyzing innovation.

On the ground floor, H-1 will offer a market hall with a variety of food options, a coffee bar, and an upscale restaurant. The maker spacewill also be found as part of the ground floor public space - a shared collaborative environment that will feature equipment such as 3D printers and scanners, digital cameras, traditional wood and metal shop equipment, and sewing machines in an environment that combines high- and low-tech fabrication. The maker space will provide students, faculty, researchers, and entrepreneurs with the tools and resources to build and prototype their next great idea.
