Mayo Clinic In Florida Relocating Organ Transplant Team Offices In $5.7 Million Project

/in /by

The city issued a permit July 11 for Fickling Construction Inc. of Jacksonville to renovate space at Mayo Clinic in Florida to relocate its transplant team offices at a project cost of almost $5.7 million.

The permit is for about 26,000 square feet of space on the fourth floor of the Davis Building at the Mayo campus at 4500 San Pablo Road S.

Plans indicate existing outpatient exams room will be renovated and the existing office layouts will be reconfigured to accommodate the relocation of Mayo’s transplant team. HKS Architects Inc. of Orlando is the architect.

“July 12 work is underway,” said Mayo Communications Manager Kevin Punsky. “Mayo anticipates completion late this year for a first-quarter 2024 opening. The entire solid organ transplant team will be relocated to this new area from where they are now on Mayo 3rd floor, The team is moving to free up and expand hospital space.”

The scope includes a new door opening connecting the Davis Building and Mayo Clinic Hospital.

“The transplant team performs different types of transplants, from the straightforward, though serious, kidney transplant, to the most complex, multiorgan transplants accompanied by rare disorders,” says Mayoclinic.org.

The site says that more than 150 surgeons and physicians and hundreds of allied health staff, specifically trained to care for transplant patients, perform more than 2,000 solid organ and bone marrow transplants every year in Mayo Clinics in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota.

“Mayo Clinic has preeminent adult and pediatric transplant programs, offering heart, liver, kidney, pancreas, lung, hand, face, and blood and bone marrow transplant services, the site says. “Mayo doctors performed their first clinical transplant in 1963.”

Mayo Clinic Seeks Construction Start On $106.6M Tower Expansion In Jacksonville

/in , /by

Mayo Clinic has applied for a permit to build the $106.6 million core and shell of its five-story patient tower expansion at the health care system’s 4500 San Pablo Road campus in Jacksonville.

The Robins & Morton Group of Orlando is the contractor. Perkins & Will of Atlanta is the architect. Prosser Inc. of Jacksonville is the civil engineer.

A construction project rendering of the five floors to be added to the eight-story Mayo Clinic patient tower in Jacksonville.

The project will add 250,000 square feet of tower space. Construction documents say the five levels will comprise three for patient care units, one “shelled” story for future build-out and a floor for mechanical equipment.

It says the building will increase from eight floors to 13. Work will be completed in phases.

Mayo announced Feb. 22, 2022, that it was starting a $432 million expansion at the San Pablo Road campus to add five floors on top of its eight-story hospital, creating 121 new inpatient beds, including 56 in the ICU. There will be three additional licensed patient beds available in existing space this year.

The expansion includes hospital support services and a central energy plant. The construction will begin this year for completion at the end of 2026.

“The expansion of our hospital will enable Mayo Clinic to offer outstanding, high-quality care to more patients with serious and complex illnesses,” said Dr. Kent Thielen, CEO of Mayo Clinic in Florida, in the February news release. “Designed to maximize flexibility, the expansion will facilitate new care models, accelerate digital innovation and enhance patient experience.”

Increasing patient demand for complex care is driving the expansion, Mayo said. Mayo Clinic opened the hospital in April 2008 with six floors and 214 beds. In 2012, Mayo added two floors and 90 beds.

The expansion includes hospital support services and a central energy plant.

When completed, the 13-floor, 1.4-million-square-foot hospital will have 428 patient beds. Mayo said the maximum height can be 17 floors, indicating future additions.

The release said that in recent years, Mayo Clinic in Florida “has experienced unprecedented growth.”  Since 2016, Mayo has invested more than $1 billion in major construction projects, more than doubling its space by 2026 with new facilities for patient care, biomedical research, education and technology.

Those projects include the Discovery and Innovation Building and the Dorothy J. and Harry T. Mangurian Jr. Building.

Other ongoing and recently completed capital projects include:

• The Mayo North five-floor, 125,000-square-foot addition with a two-story atrium link between the Cannaday and Mayo buildings. Jacksonville chefs Matthew and David Medure opened the M Brothers restaurant in the atrium Jan. 24.

• Work toward the 200,000-square-foot integrated oncology center that will include proton beam and carbon ion treatment therapy. Mayo Clinic’s carbon ion therapy center will be the first in North America.

• An 866-space parking garage adjacent to the Cannaday Building opened in late 2020. It opens onto the atrium link.

• The 12,000-square-foot Emergency Department expansion to include 14 patient rooms and 10 short-stay rooms. The construction will expand support locations, such as laundry and medication supply, and staff space.

• The eight-story, 179,000-square-foot Hilton hotel that will include amenities such as a fitness center, an on-site restaurant with room service, an outdoor pool and 16,000 square feet of meeting space. Construction of the 252-room hotel is scheduled to be completed in early 2024.

Mayo Clinic, Ascension Among Healthcare Giants Investing In Northeast Florida

/in , , /by

In 2019, Jacksonville-based Mayo Clinic Florida said it would build a $233 million, 190,000-square-foot oncology facility that will bring proton beam therapy and carbon ion therapy to Jacksonville.

Jacksonville-based Baptist Health also began several large projects this year, including building Florida‘s second largest children’s hospital and a seven-story facility that will “reorient” its downtown Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville Hospital.

Ascension St. Vincent in Jacksonville this year filed plans with city officials to build two emergency departments that are expected to open in 2020.

In addition, Baptist Health, Gainesville, Fla.-based UF Health and Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA Healthcare all filed plans to build facilities in Nassau County.

“If you’re going to have UF Health, Baptist and HCA, three mega-competitors that can literally stare into each other’s windows along the I-95 and A1A corridor, something really good is happening, because that is a lot of capital investment, a lot of healthcare,” former economic development board executive director Laura DiBella told the Business Journal. “And healthcare, in my experience, plants their money for decades.”
