Multispecialty Surgery Center, Medical Office Building Expands Care in Jacksonville

Dana B. Kenyon Company and Gresham Smith have completed a new multispecialty surgery center, home to Jax Spine & Pain Centers and UF Health Jacksonville, under the direction of UF Jacksonville Physicians, Inc. in Florida. One of the largest freestanding multispecialty surgery centers in the region, the 54,000-square-foot facility was designed and constructed to offer specialized healthcare services, outpatient surgeries, interventional spine procedures and pain management. DBK delivered this facility using its design-build approach and partnered with Gresham Smith, the architect and interior designer, and ETM, the civil engineer.

The new facility is a modern landmark on Jacksonville’s southeast side. The building can be seen from every angle on surrounding roadways, which required camouflaging the back-of-house functions. Wood accents and earth tones on the building’s modern exterior provide aesthetic warmth, and the glass and wood canopy over the main entrance offers shelter from the elements and creates a sense of arrival.

The main lobby features warm earth tones, durable terrazzo flooring and a custom wood feature wall with integrated lighting to create a relaxing, spa-like environment. The first floor houses an ambulatory surgery center with four operating rooms, two endoscopy rooms, a separate pain procedure suite with four procedure rooms and a dedicated MRI suite. Visitors to UF Health clinics on the second floor enjoy views of the large green roof while waiting, and standardized exam rooms organized around centralized work hubs create an efficient, pleasant patient experience. Located on the third floor, Jax Spine & Pain Center includes exam rooms, two procedure rooms, infusion rooms, a lab, offices, staff support spaces and open waiting areas with large windows and views of the surrounding neighborhood.
