Sustainable Lean design transforms retail space for patient care
UF Health facility converts big-box store into innovative medical center
By Du Meyer
In 2020, UF Health The Oaks opened in a
139,000-square-foot former big-box retail mall
anchor department store space in Gainesville,
Florida. Today, the clinical space has become a
model for innovative transformation of former
retail space into patient care space. The renovated
space now consists of outpatient clinics, lab, radiology
and surgical center for ophthalmology, otolaryngology
(ear, nose and throat, including allergy) and audiology
services provided by University of Florida (UF)
Health. The opening of the new facility revitalized the
community and provides convenient state of the art
healthcare for patients.
