DPR, Inc.

Scope Of Work

An integrated, innovative, and collaborative design and construction team joined forces on the Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center in Jacksonville, FL, delivering a state-of-the-art facility that offers a new model of cancer care in the Southeast. The facility was a joint product of healthcare owner Baptist Health and MD Anderson, a global leader in cancer care. Together, they sought to create a cancer program in North Florida that serves the full continuum of cancer care needs, from screening and diagnosis to treatment and survivorship.

In partnership with Perry-McCall Construction, DPR was selected to build the nine-story, 330,000-sq.-ft freestanding cancer treatment facility and 250,000-sq.-ft. parking deck, working alongside architect HKS/Freeman-White and other partners.

The project’s unique, highly collaborative consortium of architects, planners, designers and contractors embraced integrated project delivery to successfully meet the fast track, 18-month construction schedule. Co-locating together in a big room environment, they employed a 5-D building information model-based system which allowed the team to provide real time cost and schedule feedback. DPR leveraged its self-perform capabilities and tools including laser scanning and prefabrication, to meet the schedule and quality goals on the new Cancer Center, which welcomed its first patients in September of 2018.

The center includes cutting-edge radiation oncology space with three linear accelerators, infusion therapy, diagnostic imaging, interventional radiology, minor procedure rooms, faculty and administrative support space, clinical support space, an elevated pedestrian bridge and 500-space parking deck.
