## Notes

- The alias Chicago Proton Center is the name an architect's project page uses for the building; it was not confirmed on a Northwestern page and is kept for search only. The institution link points at Northwestern's Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, the corpus record for Northwestern Medicine's cancer programme; the centre's page does not name Lurie.
