Thanks to the financial support of the regional government, ithe NCT Heidelberg will have around twice as much usable space in the future as it has today. Specifically, the laboratory wing will be extended northwards on all three levels. A three-story building will be built between the clinical area of both day care units and the street on the Neuenheimer Feld campus. The new building will provide space for offices and seminar rooms, and the laboratory extension will have a reseach area close to the clinic with ten places to conduct phase I studies on the ground floor with two additional laboratory areas on the upper floors.

The total costs for the extension of about 20 million will be paid by the State of Baden-Württemberg. The furnishings in the building will be provided by the NCT Heidelberg, the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD).
