The new centre will run clinical trials and studies and is dedicated to advancing breast cancer research, improving early diagnosis and developing new treatments.





The Royal Marsden is one of the leading cancer treatment centres in the world, involved in around 750 clinical trials every year. Recent investment saw the Ralph Lauren Corporation and The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity fund a new breast cancer research facility, which opened in spring 2016.
The new breast cancer research facility required flooring that incorporated enhanced slip resistance, while offering a versatile finish which was suited to the warm, safe and welcoming environment created in the individual rooms. The Amtico Assura range, finished in an American Oak and laid in a Stripwood pattern, proved the ideal choice. The floor provides the perfect balance between safety and aesthetics, while being easy to maintain. Additionally, Assura’s 20 year guarantee ensures it is an excellent long-term investment to the facility.
The main reception of The Royal Marsden required new flooring that delivered a durable finish to an area that has extremely high footfall. A selection of oak finishes from the Signature range were chosen to create an impressive modern and friendly area with a clean and simple look.
Mo Bahrami, Projects & Property Manager at The Royal Marsden, was closely involved in both projects. He said: “We have used Amtico in other parts of the hospital before, so I was aware of the high quality finish available. Both the new Ralph Lauren Centre for Breast Cancer Research and the reception are now very clean and inviting areas, which are essential aspects for the hospital to consider in the design process.”
