Making progress: Huntsman Cancer Institute in Vineyard begins vertical construction

Vertical Construction Begins on Huntsman Cancer Institute at Utah City

Nearly a year and a half after breaking ground, the Huntsman Cancer Institute facility in Vineyard has officially reached a major milestone with the start of vertical construction.

Scheduled to open in 2028, the $400 million state-of-the-art center will span 284,000 square feet, featuring a five-story clinical care building and a three-story research facility. This landmark project represents the largest investment ever made by the Huntsman Cancer Institute, bolstered by a $75 million commitment from the Utah State Legislature.

By bringing advanced cancer care, clinical trials, and support services directly to Utah County, the new center will significantly reduce travel burdens for patients across central and southern Utah—a region that accounted for more than 52,000 patient visits to the institute in 2025 alone.
