Demolition for SUF Cancer Hospital

The Shands at UF Cancer Hospital is a $388 million investment to bring state-of-the-art cancer treatments to North Central Florida. The 500,000-square-foot facility will house 192 private inpatient beds for a variety of patients, including those receiving diagnostic and therapeutic oncology services. It also will include a Critical Care Center for emergency- and trauma-related services.

Shands is pursuing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for the cancer hospital project. LEED is the U.S. Green Building Council's rating system that has become the national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings.

Shands worked with local recycling companies to salvage approximately 70 percent of the main structure of the former University Centre Hotel. Crews removed all reusable and recyclable materials, including concrete, copper, aluminum and steel, from the interior of the hotel. We also recycled nearly 100 percent of the building materials from the adjacent parking garage.
