Maggie's Centre

Maggie's Center in Dundee Scotland

This center is among the first designed and built for Maggie Keswick Jencks, who died of breast cancer in 1995. Jencks dreamed of a place where cancer patients could be treated as human beings, a center built around a kitchen, with books and caring staff. She never lived to see this dream realized. After her passing, her husband, architectural critic Charles Jencks, played a key role in commisioning of these structures, the first of which opened a year after his wife's death.

The Centre in Dundee, Scotland is the second such center in the world. Designed by Frank Gehry Partners, the architect donated his services and the project was realized in 2003. Today there are over a dozen "Maggie's Centres" all over the world, designed by architects from Zaha Hadid to Daniel Libeskind.

This project involves a labyrinth in the structures front yard, and an elaborately curved stainless steel roof. Zahner donated labor and fabricated the roof at cost, which was then shipped to Scotland and installed by local labor. The project was completed in the same year as Bard College, another project produced both by Gehry and Zahner.
