The National Cancer Institute on Kasr Al Eyni Street south of the hospital. Built in 1969, the main portion of the building has been vacant for several years—in 2015, a move to a major new 9-million square foot campus in the distant new enclave of Sheikh Zayed City, 17 miles west of the city center on the desert edge of urban Cairo was announced, to be designed by SOM.
Last August, a car bombed exploded at the base of this building, killing at least twenty. The exurban campus has yet to be constructed, the NCI operates from a 2-level building in the shadow of this broad, empty tower.
