The main offices of the CRCTU are located in the Robert Aitken Institute in the Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences, College of Medicine and Health. The refurbishment of the Robert Aitken Institute benefited from a £1.8M investment by Advantage West Midlands, which is part of Birmingham Science City and from a donation of £120K from Children with Leukaemia. The CRCTU also has offices in the Centre for Clinical Haematology at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and at Birmingham City Hospital.
