Project Profile:
Drake Center
Project Summary
The grounds of the hospital looked great despite the summer drought. Drake Center is a unique Grasspave2 fire lane route which starts at the back of the hospital from the parking lot, goes through the fencing, underneath the building, and terminating in the center of an enclosed outdoor courtyard. Another Turner Construction job can be viewed on our Project Profiles. See Sieman's Office Bldg. #A in Boca Raton, Florida, from 1988.

Project Gallery
Back side hospital entrance. Fire lane is to the left between this wing and another, but ends up in the courtyard behind this entrance.
Fire lane starts to the right of the lamp post where there is a curb cut, goes through the black wrought iron fence, straddles the sidewalk, and going through the hole in the wall.
Closer view of fire lane from inside the fence. Notice the double wide gate
With the gazebo behind the camera you can see the high back side of the entrance shown in Photo #1. The fire lane is now on the left side of the sidewalk with lighted bollards vertically marking the edge of the driving area.
Fire lane goes through another gate and straddling either side of the sidewalk. Light pole, basketball hoop and pine are vertical delineations on the right side. The gazebo, where the fire lane ends, can be seen at the far left side of the photo.
Fire lane goes through hole in wall to an enclosed courtyard. Overhead clearance is sufficient for fire trucks.
