New, Flexible Facility in the Works
Nemours, one of the nation’s largest children’s health systems, awarded Gresham, Smith and Partners (GS&P) the design of its new home office. Located in Jacksonville, Fla. the home office will be built at the intersection of Deerwood Park Boulevard and Centurion Parkway on 17 acres owned by Nemours. The facility will consolidate all of Nemours’ business operations into one facility that will accommodate nearly 400 employees and provide more functional space for administration, business operations, training and meetings. Space limitations at its current location and the desire to improve operating efficiency led to the decision to build.
GS&P will design the facility to support the Nemours culture and better serve the operations of the home office, and will create a layout with flexible usage options and future expansion opportunities. GS&P is providing architectural, interior design, wayfinding and graphic design services. The project is scheduled for completion in July 2008.

About Nemours
Nemours, one of the nation’s largest pediatric health systems, is dedicated to achieving higher standards in children’s health. Nemours offers an integrated spectrum of clinical treatment coupled with research, advocacy, and educational health and prevention services extending to all families in the communities it serves. Starting with Alfred I. duPont’s bequest over seventy years ago, Nemours has grown into a multi-dimensional organization offering personalized clinical and preventive care focused on children.
Nemours owns and operates the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware and major children’s specialty clinics in Delaware (Wilmington), Florida (Jacksonville, Orlando and Pensacola), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia and Bryn Mawr) and New Jersey (Atlantic City and Voorhees). Having recently received preliminary approval from the State of Florida, Nemours will establish a new full-service children’s hospital as part of an integrated pediatric health campus in Orlando. KidsHealth.org, the world’s most visited pediatric health care Web site for parents, kids and teens, is a project of Nemours.
Nemours employs over 4,400 individuals, including 430 pediatric physicians, specialists and surgeons who cared for approximately a quarter of a million children in 2007. The organization’s goal is to align with parents, physicians, community leaders, children’s advocates and elected officials to ensure optimal wellness for every child.
