Open Plan Design Promotes Collaboration
Shands Facilities Administration Building
This new 15,000 square foot pre-engineered metal building houses multiple departments within UF Health Facilities Development. The open plan design with a mezzanine level fosters interaction among staff and provides “landing areas” for staff to make calls and check email. Other innovative concepts include collaborative spaces distributed throughout the upper and lower areas to accommodate groups of various sizes and required
privacy levels without sacrificing the open environment.
