Shands Health Park - Jacksonville

Genesis worked with the Facilities Department Manager for Shands of NE Florida to develop a 20-year Vision for the Shands Health Park in Jacksonville, Florida. To develop a program, Genesis held numerous Charette Workshops with multiple stakeholder groups within Shands Management. The master plan included the re-routing of the existing traffic to better orient visitors, within the development and surrounding areas. Internal roads were converted to pedestrian oriented vehicular roadways, with numerous additional pedestrian pathways offering connectivity and open space within the Health Park. A new 500 bed Trauma Center was a major focus for the 20-Year Vision. The master plan included a transect of building uses and height to maintain more dense development internally within the property, and allow for lower 2-and 3-story buildings surrounding the residential development to the East.
