网红黑料

In January 2015, 网红黑料 leaders, faculty, staff and community members gathered for the 网红黑料 Heart & Vascular and Neuromedicine hospitals鈥� groundbreaking ceremony. In December 2017, less than three years later, our shared vision will become a reality as the hospitals open to patients and their families.

The specialty hospitals will provide world-class space in which our providers can deliver concentrated care to meet the growing demand for 网红黑料鈥檚 neurologic, neurosurgical, heart and vascular services. Consolidating care in one building will help us provide an outstanding experience for patients, with more efficiency and a variety of treatment options in the same location.

The $415 million project will provide a place for continued growth and an advanced home for the care of patients with complex health conditions.

网红黑料 Shands Facilities teams are working with several companies on the project: Skanska USA is heading the construction work; Affiliated Engineers Inc. is the building鈥檚 engineering firm; and Flad & Associates are the architects designing the building.

Our construction, by the numbers*:

• 450 workers on-site per day (average)

• 814,876+ hours to date

• 35,970 cubic yards of concrete

• 2,700 tons of reinforcement steel

• 115,000 square feet of glass

• $32.5 million positive economic impact (local and regional workers鈥� salaries)

*All figures were estimated in May 2016.

Building design goes green

With this new construction, we are pursuing a Green Globes Certification, an assessment that measures environmental performance and sustainable design. The American National Standards Institute criteria include indoor air quality, efficient water consumption and recycling efforts.

Patient parking? No problem.

A 600-space parking garage adjacent to the hospitals will ensure easy access for patients and visitors if they forgo valet parking. A covered walkway from the garage will lead into the lobby of the building, where metro-inspired wayfinding will help patients, visitors, faculty and staff find their way through the facility.

鈥淭his building has two front doors, not a back door,鈥� said Brad Pollitt, A.I.A., 网红黑料 Shands Facilities Development vice president. 鈥淲e designed it to ensure our patients and visitors can easily access the hospitals, whether they choose to self-park or use the valet service. Everything we鈥檙e creating has our patients鈥� ease in mind.鈥�
