The 500,000-square-foot, $388-million medical tower, an extension of Shands’ academic medical center, features an onsite power plant, an air-conditioning system that can recover lost energy and irrigation and drainage systems that use reclaimed water.

Shands is now being considered for gold-level LEED certification, which few academic medical centers have earned.
