The East Tower, designed by TRO Jung|Branen, reflected architectural themes and, in consideration of residential neighbors, the building’s mass was broken into two wings with a façade that helped create the illusion of a smaller-scale structure. It abutted the Richards Wing and absorbed most of what was once Charles Street.
The location formed a central nexus – the logical place for a new main entrance and lobby. The Bramhall Street lobby, created in the 1956 Pavilion, was renamed the South entrance.
With the addition of 2 oncology floors, the East Tower was renamed The Coulombe Tower in 2019. The opening also celebrated the Linda and Diana Bean Sisters Heliport, with space for two helicopters to land atop the Coulombe Tower.
