In addition to the recent recognition from ABC Florida First Coast, The Oaks project for the University of Florida Health (UF Health) has been awarded a 2020 Design Award from the Tampa Bay chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The distinction recognizes excellence in architectural design in the chapter's seven-county region. This year's celebration honoring award winners was held virtually.
The innovative adaptive reuse project, which transformed a former big box retail space at a popular shopping mall into a 139,000-square-foot, cutting-edge ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and audiology clinic, is being honored for its inspired design which leveraged challenges from the existing site for cost/time savings and unique, highly patient-centric design solutions.
Congratulations to the project team for another well-deserved award for this imaginative transformation that resulted in an inviting, modern, and conveniently located specialty clinic unlike anything else in the area!
