DBK constructed a new multi-specialty surgery center, housing Jax Spine & Pain Center and UF Health Jacksonville. DBK employed the design-build approach to deliver this project and teamed up with Gresham Smith to design it. This three-story facility spans 54,000 square feet and is the region’s largest free-standing multi-specialty surgery center. The Centurion Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) & MRI occupies the first floor, UF Health medical practices occur on the second floor, and Jax Spine and Pain Center serves its patients on the third floor. The design is customized to provide specialized health care services, convenient outpatient surgeries for the community, interventional spine procedures, and comprehensive pain management.
Highly visible from J. Turner Butler Boulevard, one of Jacksonville’s busiest roadways, the new facility is a modern landmark on Jacksonville’s southeast side. The building is visible 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 offer shelter from the elements and create a sense of arrival. DBK and the interior design team worked closely with the doctors at Jax Spine & Pain Centers and UF Health to incorporate their vision into the space. UF Health’s clinical space on the second floor is cohesive with other new UF Health locations, offering quality care in a luxury setting, while the finishes and lighting in Jax Spine & Pain Center’s space on the third floor evoke a sense of calm for pain management patients.
