Norris Tower

Completed in April 2007, the Harlyne J. Norris Research Tower is a 10-story, 172,000-square-foot building adjacent to the existing USC Norris facilities. This new structure joins the original USC Norris building, Ezralow Family Research Tower, and the Norman Topping Research Tower to complete a trio of structures that combine world-class research and leading-edge clinical trials with high-caliber, compassionate patient care. The new tower provides five floors devoted to basic research, two floors for preventive medicine research, an atrium with attached lobby, a conference center and a landscaped courtyard. The building is dedicated to the vision of the late Kenneth Norris Jr. - husband of the building's namesake - "to make cancer a disease of the past."
