The Mayo Replacement Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida fulfills Mayo
Clinic's dream of creating a fully integrated medical campus with
inpatient and outpatient services "under one roof." Comprehensive
services and facilities provide specialty care for a full spectrum of
illnesses, unite basic and clinical research and offer educational
opportunities for healthcare professionals and the community.
The 850,000 square foot teaching and research hospital contains 214
beds in a 6-story tower connected to the existing Mayo building. Most of
the patient rooms are private and include a large window seating area
with sofa beds for visitors. The large patient room design provides
flexibility for equipment and services to be brought to the bedside as
the patient's condition warrants.The main entrance to the hospital features an uplifting, graceful canopy
and reflecting pool. The interior corridors are 10 feet wide, providing
suitable space for resident physicians making rounds as well as the
equipment required in an acute-care, specialty hospital. Another unique
feature is the new surgical suite that is built around a central core
preventing sterile supplies from crossing paths with used supplies. The
intensive care/critical care unit includes approximately 30 patient
rooms with the flexibility to decrease or increase in number as patient
needs require. Mayo's growing transplant programs, which include bone
marrow, liver, pancreas, kidney, heart and lung, are also located in the
hospital.
