JU projects transforming campus
College adding welcome center, nursing and elder care facilities and more. By Karen Brune Mathis Editor Jacksonville University, the 84-year-old private liberal arts college based in Arlington, continues to transform its 260-acre campus. Property to the north is becom-
ing a health care center for teaching, learning and serving. JU President Tim Cost said during a February interview that Dolphin Pointe Landing on that site will be transformed into “the whole world of nursing and elder care.” That work is evident. JU has been taking solid steps
toward adding two significant structures – a medical building on the property to the north as well as Cost a welcome center on the main campus at 2800 University Blvd. N. A three-story, 105,000-squarefoot medical arts and health sciences building is planned on 6.6
acres at 3412 University Blvd. N. The site is part of the almost 55-acre Dolphin Pointe Landing, which is owned by OLT II Inc. The ownership is led by JU graduate Gregory Nelson, who is based in Dayton, Ohio. Taylor & White Inc. is the civil engineer. The medical structure is planned at northwest University Boulevard and Dolphin Pointe Boulevard. “This building is part of our
continuing partnership with Dolphin Pointe to create an integrated medical community,” said Margaret Dees, senior vice president of enrollment and communications. Already under development is Dolphin Pointe Health Care, a two-story, 100,000-squarefoot, 120-suite skilled nursing center. Development began in December 2016. The new building is another JU Projects
